I have been using AI a lot, and while AI did produce good results and symmetry, I decided that it would probably be better if I also knew how to draw without AI.


So I realized I probably need to stop using paint, because default windows app paint is extremely limited and I knew there are probably bunch of better apps.


So I start with Sketchbook app on phone, but sadly, Sketchbook for PC is paid for app.


But then AI told me of Krita.


So I tried it, and it is a very good app for PC.


this is my drawing of anime girl. Keep in mind that I am not any good artist, so even this is good for my level.



And this is a 7 pointed star drawn:




Now, I struggled to find symmetry option in Krita.


Sketchbook on phone has a symmetry option, so whatever you draw on left side is also drawn on right, like this:



As you can see, left and right side are same. this is an important option, because it enables much faster and precise drawing, which is important for symbols which work based on symmetry.


Krita has a symmetry tool too, it just took me quite some time to find it because its not obvious. Its almost like hidden.


Anyway, I am not drawing anime, thats just for my tik tok. I am drawing magic symbols, which are based on symmetry of right and left.


Symmetry of right and left is considered divine, divine design. Because if you think about it, humans have almost perfect mirror symmetry on left and right. Well, most humans do at least.

You left out the nose. This AI won’t have a sense of smell. Was that deliberate to hide your body odour?

I like your artstyle.


I was pretty fond of Paint for years, but at some point they did some update that messes with the colors of images, 'really made it difficult for me to use it.

I stopped using paint because it lacks many tools. I realized using it is only a disadvantage, because even apps on my phone, like sketchbook, produced better results. The main issue is lack of symmetry tool, and lack of wide range of pencils, brushes, markers...ect.


I like paint for enabling some basic shapes to be made. Like, it already has triangle, star, circle, curve...ect. and these are what all drawings are made of.


However, other drawing tools have this as well, but also have more.


I only noticed the difference once I actually started using a different program.


The colors, also. In paint, colors aren't as good.

I find rotoscoping pictures of real stuff and people kind of fun,

Though I don't 'generally care for drawing on a computer,

I prefer sketching scribbles in my notebook.


An advantage of computer art though, is how easy it is to store, sort, copy various projects one has.

. . Also lot of electronic stuff, easier to use computer than hand draw and transfer over.

Art for video games or online profiles.


If you're going for a more cute or cartoon look, which isn't bad,

Rotoscoping might not be the way to go though.

Drawing with AI is the most sophisticated art form.

I dont do animations yet, but probably simplest way to do animation is to focus on only one part moving. For example, only mouth moving while everything else stays same. Easy to do on computer.

I used to not care too, but what I find good about it is the "undo" button which doesnt exist in real life. the idea that I can make a mistake and just undo it in a second is great. Also, adding, then deleting colors only works on computer. In real life, if you are drawing using pencil, its very difficult to remove color from area where you added too much color.



I prefer sketching scribbles in my notebook.


I have plenty of notebooks with countless drawings of symbols. I usually draw in notebook the important symbols I found. I used to draw cartoon too, but mainly by connect the dots method.

there are apps which let you do AR drawing. All you need is phone with camera, and you basically trace lines on paper while looking at phone.


However, the simplest way to draw is by drawing bases first. For example, if you are drawing a character, first draw head shape and body shape, then eyes, then hair. Drawing becomes much easier once you realize what you need to draw first. Because after drawing bases, you can draw anything on them, experiment, go back...ect.


You can also use grid lines, connect the dots method...ect. Connect the dots is very useful to produce symmetry easily when drawing in real notebook. On computer, it usually isnt necessary.


For example, to draw eyes of same size, you just place 4 dots with proper measuring of distance between them, and then connect them with curve lines, not straight lines.


Something like this:




tho not necessary on computer because computer already has symmetry tool. I just find connect the dots most useful in real life drawing. Grid lines methods arent really practical in real life. But bases plus connect the dots are perfect and easy way to make symmetry, and symmetry is crucial.

AI is a lot faster, yeah, but sometimes one wants to have own skill. Also, AI is more random.

I experiment a lot with shapes, colors, and sizes in drawings. I am slowly getting understanding when it comes to drawing.

How is landing on a 7 pointed star cute? It would be painful to be poked in the chin or throat.

You should have the star in front of her face and not sticking into her neck.

Now bring in the curves. You have too many straight lines.
