I copy AI art (for learning) (Patreon)

This beautiful AI gen art is from a prompter "Yuuki Taito". I don't know how he generate it but it has a very high quality compare to other AI arts I saw. And it's too beautiful to be ignored,

.

So...

.

I study from it by tracing the line....but analyze how to color myself. Which is not accurate but at least there're some skills I can use in my future projects.

.

The Main Key Point is...coloring is not important.

The most important parts are "shape and shadow casting direction"

"A good shadow casting will make your picture 100 times better than a picture with good details only"

.

and how to practice the lighting? The easiest way is to draw a ball, a box, a cylinder and draw shadow on it. Human body are formed from these geometry. If you can do it, a human body would be easy for you too.

Tbh, I'm not fully understand how to draw this style myself. I haven't drawn this level of quality before. But after this lesson, I see more clear boundary of my potential. Wish me luck.
