    Here's to the people compaining that digital art isn't "real" art. In ms paint, you just have colors, fixed brush sizes, and a blank canvas. No layers, no fancy blending, no filters, no unlimited undos. You even have to learn color theory to make a palette and make all the color combos work. Kudos for mastering that severely limited but strangely close to reality program.

I don't care of what They speak about tools like Ps, Painter and other digital art softwares. I care about retards on internet doing fake art with IA. This week, a company of publicity used IA to create their cover, but They didn't notice the artist has 6 fingers in his hand.

If the AI is learning from the public domain, is it really stealing or being used without permission? It also takes trial and error to find the "perfect" prompt for the AI. If you want great art from the AI, it will take time to get there. Think we have all seen how bad some AI generated art is. Not saying AI generated art is better than human created art, but they are both "real" art.

    @@BalanceHex @BalanceHex Okay, i can't deny thats its art too. ;) I am guilty myself. I am creating picture Ai models myself. Most the time with photos i made myself and with permission of the persons in the photo. I use offline diffusers like fooocus etc. So i know the whole process from A to Z. But i lost my passion for painting. I can create much more creative pics than i am able to create. Thats frustrating af. . Phrases of encouragement like "Paint man, you paint for yourself!!!" doesn't give me comfort at all. And i do think Ai is theft in certain areas. With offline stable diffusion you can steal any style by creating your own ai models by downloading the pics of an artist on instagram. So i am not against AI, i just respect art created with a pencil, brush even if its made in paint or photoshop more. I think its more difficult especially if you project the rapid development of ai tools into the future. Why create a painting over a period of 2 weeks when a child can make similar paintings with Ai in 24 hours. 😉 But yeah, AI is a fun thing and skill and creativity is needed to achieve something outstanding.

    This image painting of yours proves that, it is not about cool software with tons of different plugins, but about the skill. And if you understand how to draw an image and make it look realistic, then you don't need any fancy software. As for me, I used MS Paint back in Windows XP days and a bit in Windows 7 days. And since my painting skills is very far from yours, so far as distance from earth to mars, everything that I was painting looked cartoony. Or other words, I don't have understanding of how to paint someone's portrait. And then I don't have enough patience to learn and understand it, so I stuck to what works for me, and for now I'm a 2D spriter, who can also edit images, but who is also very lazy. But I also switched from classic MS Paint to PaintNET, with tons of plugins. And since I don't do anything crazy, PaintNET is more than enough for me. Like, it has many fancy tools that you can download for free, it has possibility to work with different layers and stuff like that. Other words, it's like classic MS Paint but better and has most of the tools that Photoshop and other software has, but they are simple to find and use inside the PaintNET itself. But I'm sure that you know this even without me telling you.

    Dude this is so cool to see someone else use MS paint. As someone who just started really using MS paint. I've played around with it a bit in the past, but I recently did two halfway decent pictures with it. And it's very much encouraged me to keep practicing my art. MS paint is a fun tool. It is simplistic and can be difficult using a mouse, but it takes time and practice like any craft. Something I do If I'm not real happy with, say, the black line of a jawline, I will go back in with white to shave the line down, making it look more like a jaw. If I'm a doing black and white portrait. It was excited when I realized for the first time I could do that.

    I remember someone saying a long time ago that you can technically, theoretically make photo realistic art from scratch using Paint which is very true, you can edit each and every pixel to your liking, the process would be incredibly time consuming but it could be done. When you said Ms-paint my first thought was like XP paint or even older because that's what I'm used top using to the point where even on newer computers I always make it a point to download the XP version of paint because that's just where my muscle-memory is. I used to use it mainly for pixel art but semi-recently I switched to asprite just because it has more features specifically for that kind of thing. but again, theoretically one COULD do the same thing with Asprite that you're doing here. Just like theoretically someone could use Audacity and with excessive generating and editing make a Mozart song

    I think its great to something that challenges yourself, such as a childs portrait. I think you did a fab job though i feel he still looked a little older in the final image still. it makes me think that you've already started to sus out how to improve next time round. incredible to be able to do this. Regardless being in MS paint or not. I met a digital artist that uses a mouse and not a tablet to draw on. Though just works for them.

    So weird knowing the amount of purples and greens goes into a face. I used to see only browns, yellows and reds. Wonderful painting great job!

    I love that you don't do layers because they're so complicated to me and I felt bad drawing and coloring without layers but seeing this gives me so much inspiration and faith in my process as I'm just beginning my digital art journey.

    I'm a digital artist and I mostly paint on one layer! I've been drawing on paper for many many years before getting an iPad, and paper&colored pencils only give you one layer to work at, so this is more like a habit thing. I do line art on one layer, and then do another layer to put the values, I do it on two layers so I don't ruin my lineart with erasing. But then when I'm happy with the values I merge the layers and work on just this one layer. On the end I sometimes add extra hues and highlights on new layer, using the Addition blending mode, then merge, back to one layer. Try that, maybe this is a process that will work for you. When I only started with digital, I felt bad about not using many layers too, because every tutorial uses like 10 layers or more for more complicated pieces, but then I realized, that all my life I've been drawing my backgrounds, subjects, faces and eyelashes on one layer - a piece of paper - and it looked good, so why not continue that?

    layers are only necessary if you're a professional working for a studio/client. So you can make changes to the design quickly. If you're just a hobbyist do whatever you want. Using a single layer is the same as traditional painting so it's more intuitive.

    I draw on multiple layers because it's easier for me to track error and fix it that way (don't need to remove the undamaged part as well)
