RAW Thoughts on AI Art

1. Unfiltered Thoughts on AI Art

I just released a podcast talking about my unfiltered opinion on AI Art.

And a lot of people seem to unhappy with what I have to say.

You can decide for yourself.

Now, disclaimer before you listen to this - this is just my 'OPINION', which keeps evolving as I further understand this matter.

Don't take anything personally.

2. Taking Ideas from Life for your Sketches

I was a bit 'unmotivated' to draw consistently again and noticed that I wasn't drawing 'things I was interested in'.

Then, I started going through my Pinterest boards to see what I was truly interested in and it seemed to be a bunch of cool 'statues' from south and east Asian cultures.

And boom, took one of those and started making things again. Here's a little sketch 👇

3. Favourite Quote of the Week This week's Quote is a poem that I recently came across... "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!" - IF by Rudyard Kipling

That's it for this week folks! See you in the next one :) Best, Kesh.
