I've not had much of an issue, my guess is her prompts aren't great or she's combining it with really poorly taken notes?

A colleague is all in on AI. She sends these elaborate notes generated by AI from our transcript that she is so proud of. I really hope she hasn't read any of them because they're often quite disconnected from what occurred on the call. If she is reading them and sending them anyway.... Wow.

Great timing! My wife and I are planning a trip for next winter right now. I can't wait to show my wife!

That's the life, right there, that I imagined having as a kid.

I mean my gay child just called me a straget here at the pride festival. This seems in the same vein...!?

The two artists in the room I aspire to be like her no issues. They got her likeness right away. Just have room to grow is all, I'll get there!

 

I couldn't get her face right, she said that's common due to her unique features. I disagree, it's my lack of skill and practice. Hopefully as I get better I get a chance to paint her again and do her justice!

I turn off almost all notifications, my screen is in black and white mode when it's time to wind down and while working. I use to not disturb with black and white mode as well. Keeps me from getting distracted while trying to relax or work.

I used to watch that show religiously. This was the last episode I watched, I couldn't take it anymore.

 
 
 

Got this at an ice cream shop in Denver. It tasted great and was fun to eat.

 

I dunno, drawing this made me laugh though.

 

Needed a break from all the realism, so I stretched this. No idea why he's wearing a tux and boxers, he just is.

At the end of the live model painting session the model came around and looked at everyone's rendition of the 40 minute pose. When she saw mine she squealed and gasped "Looks just like me!" Dude, I almost cried. I did tippy taps all the way home and woke my wife up to tell her I was so excited!

The title image is the 40 minute pose.

Friends arm for scale.

Right half was barbacoa, left half was carnitas. Both great, though I like the carnitas a bit better.

 

Live model

Dude! This likeness of the live model was the third best--in my opinion--of the 15+ artists!!! I'm so jazzed. The owner of the studio and a lady who's been there every week were both a lot better likeness than mine. They're both amazing artists and I can't wait to catch up.

Only have a little over an hour and a half with no photo reference is really really hard. I'm doing tippy taps I'm so excited here!

YouTube videos of artists drawing someone in a public place and surprising them with the art is something I've always envied. Getting to this likeness in an hour and a half isn't fast enough or a good enough likeness yet but I'm on my way!

 

The model was a delight to paint and quite witty. I clearly still need a lot more work painting live people versus from a screen. Like he's legs are way too small and I didn't notice it until the next day.

Other examples:

 

My wife and I saw this while in Miami Beach. The music, the dancing, all amazing. This is the first of a few paintings I'll paint from reference photos my wife and I took.

If you're ever in Miami Beach looking for a show to take in, this one is probably worth your time!

 

I painted this while on vacation in Miami Beach with my wife.
