Messy doodles is the seed of your creativity (day 3/x doodling)
I always am a big fan of Family Guy and the Simpsons. Their comedic storytelling together the cute cartoon-y art mesmerized me from age 10 to even today. One day, I do dream of making my own comic w/ something like this, so today I’m doodling Brian and Homer.
From these, I realize that if you make the characters “rounder”, the cuter or visually more pleasant they are.
I do notice that sometimes in my drawings the lines are squiggly (still gotta work on those muscles in my fingers). Is there a way to make these sketches prettier?
I threw them into AI and these are the results:
Google’s AI studio refined the lines and added colors to it. It knew I was drawing Homer and Brian and added colors appropriately (and added the missing dog tag from the original).
Not bad.
I then threw the original sketch into ChatGPT (4o) and Google’s Video Gen AI, and both of them rejected it w/ copyright infringement
These doodles of your favorite cartoons, Big Tech now don’t allow them :/
So, I suppose from now on, you can only use your original works (your own character design) with these AI.
Here I uploaded my doodle from before and generated a refined image (ChatGPT 4o) and an animated video (Googles Video Gen). The generated video was astonishing — turned my doodle into 1920’s animation
With these AI tools, any person can create art in any form.
This really speaks to this fascinating juncture of the universe — with these AI tools we can unleash the creativity that’s dormant within us. We are truly creators.
