ANIMATED STILL FIGURES
I would like to see a drawing program, when one can draw on the screen while shapes spin in 3D. Perhaps one could choose, spin and orient these shapes from a menu of primitives.
VORONOI STYLE
When I transfer the style of a Voronoi image to my figure drawing in Deep Dream Generator, it thickens up my pencil lines. Using Photoshop Elements, I blend the result from Deep Dream Generator with my original figure drawing to get exactly what want.
I created two Voronoi images with this program,
and overlapped them in Photoshop Elements to create the image above.
I then transferred that image to my drawings
ONLINE ART PROGRAMS
There are a lot more free online art programs that will alter my drawings than when I last looked (about 2016). Here are some examples below:
GITHUB PROGRAMS
I trolled GitHub (now owned by Microsoft) for art software, after I realized that a lot of these odd online art programs originated there.
Most of the GitHub programs generated interesting images that I could download and use as style references, to apply to my drawings in Deep Dream Generator.
PIFuHD
PIFuHD is a software demo program in Google's Colaboratory that will convert a 2D photo into a 3D object. It did not work that well using my drawings, but it does work alright with frontal photos of people taken standing up.
AUTOMATED ART GENERATORS
There are a lot of programs that will generate art from scratch, sans artist, and I made a whole blog posting about many online automated art generators.
As an example, I started by downloading a person that does not exist, and uploading her to other online art generators.
DRAWINGS ALTERED IN 3D
I played around in Blender 2.8 to see how I could push my drawings into something different. I noticed that I liked the 3D results that included a hand drawing, more than entirely computer generated 3D images. I am fairly biased, but the computer images seem colder to me.
PAINTINGS
Peter Synek saved a lot of the paintings I was going to toss when I moved to Juarez in 2007. I posted pictures of these salvaged paintings in June:
Then I used the old paintings as style references in Deep Dream Generator. That is, I transferred the style of these paintings to some of my pencil drawings, and was fairly pleased with the results.
3D IN CROSSVIEW
It was easy to create a kind of 3D image in Photoshop Elements. I made a stereoscopic pair of images by slightly shifting one image to the left or right from the other image. When one overlaps these two images -- by crossing their eyes -- one figure will float over in front of the other.
This is a tangible 3D illusion that happens in your head.
ONLINE MODELS
In addition to drawing online every Tuesday night with the Santa Fe Argos group, I also found a couple of websites that offered models to draw -- namely Croquis Cafe and Sketch Daily.
John Tollett made two videos about the drawings from the Santa Fe Tuesday Night Drawing group:
And the sequel:
DEEP DREAM GENERATOR
April Update
Deep Dream Generator upgraded their online AI program to deliver a higher resolution result. I also played with the Settings, to get stronger (and weaker) style transfers.
DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE
A Covid Summer
Days after the July Art Walk in downtown Albuquerque, people started painting graffiti murals on the boarded up windows. I documented the evolution on this blog.
