In a world where automation rules, headlines scream: 'You too can be an artist! Generate stunning images with AI in seconds!' But what do we lose when we stop 🅳🆁🅰🆆🅸🅽🅶 by hand? Let’s talk. 🧵👇

Although I’m pretty bad at it because I lack practice, drawing by hand feels like remembering when we were kids and used to draw all the time. 🖤 
But whenever I can, I grab my sketchbook and a pencil or some charcoal and get lost in it. It’s relaxing. 

You’d know better, but I think it’s similar to writing by hand. Our brain definitely doesn’t behave the same way when we type on a keyboard versus when we use a pencil or pen.

Nothing against AI, of course. As long as you have something to tell, any medium is a good way to do it. 🤘

Who wants harmless art?

I think I feel the same way about 3D. With AI, I can create an image or even a video in a short time and get good results, but I miss the journey from modeling, texturing, animationg, creating simulations if needed, setting up the lights, rendering. What I mean is that what I truly enjoy is the process. 🖤

I totally agree, AI is an amazing tool, I use it! but for me drawing is more about the process and discipline, the end result is not that important... As you say, it's something that all kids do, so it connects us to our inner self
