This is one of 15 of digital portraits I did for my families Christmas gifts this year 2023. This one was part of the line drawings that I didn’t have time to color digitally paint because I had to do up to 15 drawings within one to two weeks. I am definitely not gonna procrastinate ever again. This one is my mom me as a baby, my sister, my dad and my brother on my dad’s lap. And yeah it’s true. I had a big Flippin head as a baby get over it I was adorable. And honesty this holds a kind of soft spot in my heart because this was when our family was still together. Yes, if you’ve noticed from these other posts, I am a person from a divorced family. Just looking back at these type of photos and seeing how happy my family was kind of makes me feel sad for what we lost. But that’s why I believed that I needed to do these drawings. Even though I had very little time to do it, and it kind of stressed me out it also was very therapeutic. Understanding that the true art is holding onto beautiful memories. so now we got the emotional baggage out-of-the-way lol I can now tell you how I did this. One, just like the other one that I left black-and-white/line drawing only I added an AI generated background. I drew this in Adobe Fresco. And I wanted to color this but I didn’t have enough time to do it. The first background that I designed couldn’t fit into the printed version so I had to make a very simple background. The AI art generator are used was wonder AI. That one’s a really good one and they details on. It are awesome. Even though I use Picsart a lot for its editing tools I’m not a big fan of their AI tools. so when I first started to color this, I wanted to see if I can do something similar with my Stepmom‘s red dress portray. Just a recap in case you didn’t see that post I had a drawing with these drawings that I did for the book out of my Stepmom with his beautiful red dress that she wore for her anniversary with my dad. I was able to re-create the shimmering of the red dress through AI generated art/replacement tool on Picsart. I thought that tool would work as well with this drawing so what I did was I tested on the blouse of my mom. I highlighted it with the highlighter that the program has, and then I asked it to give me a colorful red plaid blouse, it definitely gave me plaid And a blouse But it was black-and-white. I tried it several times to try to get it to go color and it wouldn’t. So then I decided to do plaid background. Wonder AI. The one that I used came up with several different ones and the one I used with this project I asked for a worn plaid fleece blanket that has been used and it was slightly warm colors but what I wanted to do was I wanted to bring down the color intensity and originally I wanted to put two hearts there with different plaid background, but it didn’t quite fit the printed frame/book that I was making through Walgreens. So I ditched the hearts and I just left the grayish red plaid in there. Image both makes me happy and sad at the same time. But at least it brings out feelings in me. That’s a good thing that’s what art is supposed to do. God bless you guys and thank you for checking out my art.
