Entry in the Your Inktober drawings theme on BudgetPixel.

Little drift from intended them, but ok'd by @CaylaCatz This is magnolia I drew using one of my grandmother's how to draw type books when I was kid. First is my drawing, next ones are a few model comparisons with my drawing as reference and the prompt ‘I drew this. Make something beautiful with it.’

Most people draw or paint by looking at something whether it's an image, a photo or painting. Or looking at something in real life like paying a model to sit still for hours. So what you did is very legit. yeah, I was like you. I drew a lot decades ago and then stopped -- mostly because I got into photography. Then last year I decided to do Inktober. I'd heard of it and went to look for it. Luckily the website is still up. I noticed just doing 1 image a day more or less for 30 days, my drawings improved a lot. But to be fair I'm not spending a lot of time on the sketch at the moment since I'm experimenting to see what the AI does with it. So what you did was cool. And I look forward to seing more if you feel like drawing

Thank you! 🥰 To be fair, I was looking at an image and basically copied it. It was a lot of years ago! I haven't tried to draw anything in decades. I'm thinking of maybe trying something from your theme lists.

This is so cool. You draw a lot better than I do. And I love seeing how the AI colored it with different styles and yet kept the spirit of your drawing.

Thank you! One uses a photo of my drawing as a reference with the prompt change nothing. I really like what AI did with them, especially image 2!

I remember the original hanging on the wall for years. I think we should frame number 2 and hang it in the computer room.

Gorgeous! I love the progression. #1 and #2 are my favorites.
