As a species, Homo Sapiens has a distinct tendency to keep making things more and more complicated. Using my digital art tools on this picture, I kept going long past the point that it makes sense. Trying to do this with an electronic stylus on the small touchscreen of my Android cellphone, I managed to get all the guitar strings turned into wet noodles. The bird wings got all fussed up between layers, and I made mistakes because arthritis in my hands screws up my drawings and overlapping details skew each other at a level I can only clearly see when I put the result on a computer and blow it up big. My eyes are old and funky too.
I changed the background and concentrated on the strings, but it was late at night. The birdwings were still misinterpreted by the AI tool. I left too many extra lines in the pencil original on the art paper. Notice what it did to her fingers.
This is the pencil copy I scanned to start with.
The version I actually settled for.
Simple, right? I didn’t let the AI screw things up as much. Though, there are still some edits I need to make with the stylus and eraser.
