That's not "upscaling". That's having the AI color it in for you. Like a comic artist who has a colorer (person that literally does that).
Upscaling just makes the image bigger (resolution-wise). It uses the same exact technology as regular AI image generation though ๐คท
There's degrees to everything. AI haters are at the point where they're arguing with digital artists over what counts as art and it's getting insane.
I think this helps, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Of course, I'm going to keep practicing, and eventually I won't need ai to help me anymore, but between now and then...
That's exactly what you do with it, keep practising, nothing more nothing less. Draw shit. Eventually your shit will be fucking fantastic.
thank you.
Is there a well defined "then"? Shortcuts are hard to stop arbitrarily using. If your goal is to become a better artist I would focus more on practicing your art instead of fitting AI into your art.
There is not a well defined "then". I might not ever get there. I said from the get go that I'm not an artist. I want to be one though.
