and altered in Deep Dream Generator
STAGE 2
John's 1st response,
adding his figure from
STAGE 3
My 1st response, adding a drawing
from the August 11th online drawing session,
and running the result through Deep Dream Generator
(applying a style by Mucha)
STAGE 4
John's second response,
adding the king and some paint splashes
STAGE 5
My 2nd response,
altering the king's face with
and applying a Grateful Dead style (drawing by Edmund J Sullivan)
to the composition in Deep Dream Generator
* side experiment *
I applied the style from Stage 4
to Stage 5 in Deep Dream Generator,
to get this image
STAGE 6
John's third response
with painting effects
Earlier this year I was considering sending some of these digital collaborations to China, to have them painted, like I did in 2018 through Sun Bird Arts. Maybe I should use Fiver instead (like this guy did with architecture). Then I could have a real 21st Century state-of-the-art exhibition in a physical gallery -- instead of just a blog showing off fake art in digital formats that don't exist in the real world.

John added his drawings and tweaked the compositions in Photoshop. I cheated a lot, using Deep Dream Generator to alter the composition. That is, I used AI (artificial intelligence) to change the image completely, because this is the 21st century after all.
Summary GIF
The only real advantage to collaborating through Google Docs is that this program stores the drawing on your G Drive. This really helps if the image file is large, as the collaborators do not have to attach a big file in email every time they make a change. However, there are no real drawing tools in the Google Docs program, so that one still has to download the file to make meaningful changes in Photoshop, or any other art program. Then he has to upload the image to Google Docs again.
Using Google Docs might make even more sense if three or more artists were working on the same drawing. Google Docs also stores all the versions, so that one can scroll through the progress.

REAL TIME COLLABORATION
In 2011 I was trying to find a way for two artists to collaborate in real time, while drawing from the same model during a life drawing session. Things have changed a lot in a decade.
I wonder if there are any other programs that allow for more sophisticated collaboration online between visual artists, beyond these simple programs below:
TWISTED SUMMARY
Collaborating on a drawing might lead to new ideas, or at the very least, change the directions that we artists might have otherwise gone, and break into new territory. In that spirit, I concur with what the blogger says below:
The act of drawing is incredibly important to becoming a better visual thinker. However, because so many business meetings happen over the phone, sometimes we aren’t able to visually communicate with our team. Its in these moments where we rely on pen and paper to convey our ideas. I've found that writing, brainstorming and drawing things out is a better way for creating a mental framework to tackle complex problems.
Except that this blog ... generated all the entries entirely by AI (artificial intelligence) using the new GPT 3 program.
Hmmm...Maybe we could get GPT 3 to write a Blender addon that would warp our collaboration in 3 dimensions.
In short: Why not also collaborate with AI to create the highest quality fake art of the 21st century?
Bonus: Bossy AI online drawing program -- which will erase what is verboten
