right now I can give you this quick sketch to show you that I’m an actual artist because some of you guys are just downright nasty.

Learning a new program that automatically records your process. Here’s the face, the sketch, my layers, my guidelines, my Apple Pencil, and the start of my process.

This is it in the starting layer I start by the head and go down to the shoulders

This is how I worked off the bottom layer and drew over it and added the arms and some details after

Incase you’re wondering what that third layer is it’s just a different design I was playing around with annabeth’s hair

I might turn this into a full project just to prove the point.

I’m honestly sick of hearing the same thing over again. Yes, I’m an artist. No this isn’t ai.

No these sketches aren’t the same skill level. They’re sketches. Both on mediums I’m not used to (first is CSP, second is a sketch.) I don’t do physical character art, I do realism and impressionism paintings. I’ve used paint tool SAI most of my time as an artist

Yeahhh my sketch isn’t the same quality. I’m still in high school, still in finals season. I worked several weeks on my Annabeth picture so no, my quick ten to five minute sketches aren’t going to equate to the work I put into my finished, rendered, colored picture.

hello!!!! i just got done reading the Percy jackson books and i loved them!! im so happy the show got me into them. i just wanted to draw something with the book description of annabeth <3

Edit!!! since this is getting more traction omg let me talk about what i was thinking. For the design in the back I was kinda tryna go for Athena to her left looking over her shoulder like. Always standing in her mothers shadow her mothers always watching and then I just took inspo the swirls from some Greek vases

Hi! Wanted to point out this comment:

They were right!

Also, look at the pupils!! Bloby af!

May be a nitpick, but it's CAMP half-blood!

with this canonical design

The armor on the wrists isn't matching up either!!

BEING CALLED AI ISNT A COMPLIMENT, ITS AN INSULT.

Grow up, learn how to draw, it may take awhile, but it's better than AI fucking slop.

“Grow up” I’m seventeen

“Learn how to draw” I know how to draw, thank you. This isn’t AI. Just because I’m not a perfect artist and I make mistakes doesn’t mean it’s AI and ai is rotting your brain at this point

People have been using ‘Chb’ with a scribble of a horse in the old art but not adding camp makes you upset?

The pupils are blobby because it’s mixing with the upper lid shadowing along with the fact that I didn’t take out my fucking protractor when I was drawing them, I didn’t realize we had to draw exactly 360 degrees or it was invalid

The armor isn’t matching up because that’s a bandage on the left side and on the other side I was trying to add those little rectangular chunks on the end of the sleeve to make it more dynamic and I used this as my reference too, the main plate then the two moveable sections under it.

didn’t add that to the other arm because I wanted the bandage to be visible

The beads don’t line up because I wasn’t counting. I was just drawing. I’m not a pjo expect I made it pretty clear I’m new to the fan space

I don’t think ai looks ‘good’ But to be seventeen and be accused of faking your art at first felt a little good because I didn’t think I was really that good that people would think I’m actively lying about creating my own work

The eye corner has those little lines because I was sketching and neglected to fix that part because I was focused on the hands. originally the eye shape was a lot smaller so the bottoms came up to the pupil but I felt like I didn’t like that it felt like she was scowling not upset / sad

Heres some of the [shit] art i make!

Here are the layers I used for the art

If I were to ever use AI , you'd see it, bcs I'm shit at proportions and shading, and just my general art style!

You can't use shit lineart as an excuse. You can't use your AGE as an excuse. If literal PRE TEENS know that AI is wrong, so should you. You should also know, that lying to people online, is bad!!

To give you some credit, your actual article [or at least i hope it's yours] is gorgeous! It's not "proof" you're the original artist, but it's proof, you CAN draw! I'm sorry you feel so insecure that you revert to AI art, your art does look good!

Also, to the address the comments saying shit like "OH, FINALY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT DRAW ANNABETH BLACK"

SHUT UP!! Sorry that you're so fucking triggered by the show vers. of annabeth!? Yeah, cannon version of Annie is nice, but I like both the show version too! Also, I'm pretty sure that there are more people who draw annabeth as white than black.

Here is an example of a 20 minute sketch of mine.

You can clearly see that it's messy

Next is the cleaned-up version. About 45 minutes of work total.

It's noticeably more clear, and it aligns with the skill level of the messy sketch.

Now I never ended up rendering this sketch in particular, but I do have a piece with the same character and similar position.

This IS a different piece altogether, but it's a finished work. It aligns with the skill level of my previous sketches. It is a traditional piece, I used a brown colored pencil to sketch, ohuhu markers to color, and a micron to line. I spent about two hours on it. It's very clearly mine.

if you’re an artist you should understand digital art and physical art aren’t the same process?????? but watch you call this ai too!!!!

“The quality isn’t the same” noooo shittttt I drew this in ten minutes.

“The proportions!!!” I use the TRANSFORMMMM TOOOOLLLL when I’m not using paper

I’m used to working on layers, with eraser tools and transform tools. So I’m ready to hear you bitch about how it’s not exactly the same again when I’m not even using the same medium. Come on like clockwork

Like no offense— I’m not one to knock down others art and I think you guys have some talent but go figure it’s the mid artists who are up my ass 😭😭

You don't "just suck at drawing that pattern" the way it flips and morphs and can't even keep a consistant shape is a hallmark of AI. Hell half of them aren't even swirls at the bottom.

Where is the handle to her dagger?

What the hell is she doing with her hands?

Why is her armor completely different on her left and right arms? Hell, why is she wearing that weird half armor at all?

The way that O melts into the linework of the dagger

Her eyes have what almost looks like 2 lines that would be her lower lid

Where are her sleeves?

I’m an artist. I’m sorry I’m not perfect. I’m sorry that I didn’t add the exact details on the shirt. I’m sorry I didn’t do a perfect reconstruction of her dagger.

OF course the hairs the same. THATS MY STYLE.

Here’s even a second piece of hair I was playing with but decided to go with the same style for consistency sake.

And YEAH! I’m going to the next piece I make!
