>Personally, if I were going to put that much effort into something, I'd rather just spend that time practicing my own art.
It's funny, I'm actually using this to ease into real art. The autistic level of detail, inpainting, redrawing, anatomical comparisons, etc. I do with AI shit doesn't stress me out nearly as much as regular art, and I've seen actual improvements in my attempts at drawing just through doing this. It also makes it less stressful, I've built up a ton of anxiety around drawing, and this is like a "See? You're not drawing (but still kind of are/are thinking about a lot of the same concepts" way to present it to my brain to prevent it from flying into fear frenzy mode.
I'd encourage anyone feeling the same way about art to give doing this a try, actually. Just get really autistic about perfecting a single piece of AI art through edits, looking up how poses work, studying your own hands, etc. to dip your toes in. Even editing real art with AI help, like picrel, can be super helpful.
