I use my hand drawn sketches as the basis for digital art. I started by using ControlNet Lineart and was so impressed with how specific the inclusion of each drawn element is. I also like to generate img to 3D experiments with sketches, 2D renders and various personal images.

In my painting and drawing practice I had wanted abstraction to be an engagement of the viewer. Giving them an opportunity to add meaning to the work through their own enjoyment and contemplation. Overwhelmingly people would prefer to hear about my intent and then ask me questions about my practice.
I found that to be disappointing because I wanted to them to at least ask questions about the piece. Maybe I wasn't good at giving them a way to connect to the art and therefore they would default to asking 'how often I paint, when did I start painting, how did I find the time to paint" etc. Back in the studio these interactions convinced me that I was on my own pursuit to stay creatively fit and active, but not the kind of artist people would be curious about.
These days I have noticed that when I show people my AI creations or the sketches behind them they ask me about "the ethics of AI, if art is in danger and what I intended to do with them."
The other observation I have had is adults typically flip through the creations quickly. Kids look at a few, ask as few questions about what they are, and then tell me about their own art and things they make with friends. Gotta love kids! Here are a few recent ideas.
