Hello people,
Im new in the Warhammer 40 000 Universe. My wife has one set of this coloring pencil sets. Im not good at drawing but my idea was to fill out some pictures while my kids also draw. Do you know a good quality source for coloring book? What do you think about creating coloring pictures with ai?
I wonder if this is how artists felt when digital painting was introduced, or when perspective was first beginning to be used, or when the canvas was invented...
No, though, it's nothing like that. Not even when 3D image rendering first came about.
When an artist makes something, there is something called "intentionality". This is what the artist is trying to convey with what they're making, whether its sculpture or a carving or a 3D digital rendering- the artist has an intention to bring something in their mind to the viewer. When its not right, they can tweak it with more paint or lines or changing the path the 3D object renders through until it expresses what they're trying to express.
When you prompt an AI to make a picture based on a few words, it tries to make the next pixel in the image the "correct" one based on having been trained on millions of actual art works. It doesn't know what it means or what it's doing.
This isn't a new tool for artists, its taking all the art that's been made to date by artists and putting it into a digital blender and shitting out something that kind-of looks like what an artist might make.
If you like looking at that, then go and enjoy. There is a very good reason most people recoil at this stuff, though.
I just hope for warhammer coloring book. Until i can buy them i have to print them by myself.
yeah that makes sense
I uploafed the coloring pictures to chat gpt and Askese Himmel which coloring pencils to use where.
