The Tuesday Night drawing group of Santa Fe drew both in person and on Zoom at the new Argos Gallery/Studio location. They arranged a hybrid real/virtual drawing session that had started during Covid.

I experimented with jagilley/controlnet-scribble" (which probably underlies Scribble Diffusion):

Original input drawing

controlnet-scribble

In this case

the top output

is very similar to the pen drawing I uploaded

controlnet-scribble

Final result:

prompt: "a photo of a standing woman"

• John Tollett drew the same model live in Santa Fe, while I drew the model on Zoom from my laptop screen in Albuquerque

PRINTS

I drew on the Expanded PVC Foam with a gel pen, and then scribed into it with a steel and diamond scribe, and pushed into it with a ball point stylus, to get a variety of lines -- just like I did at Henry Morales's drawing session a week ago:

Drawn with a gel pen

(which rubs off with a little water)

Gouged by various styli

I made a "rubbing" with pencil

to get a sense of how the plate would print

• John Tollett drew the model live in Santa Fe, while I drew the model remotely in Albuquerque on Zoom

LIVE AI ART

We had a fun time drawing the live model on the computer screen, passing them back and forth in Zoom chat, and altering them with AI Art programs:

Holly drew in SCRIBBLE DIFUSSION with a stylus during the drawing session on Zoom.  Shethe tiny box of one of the other artists in the Zoom window, for instance:

The Scribble Diffusion result

Holly first drew the model with Scribble Diffusion, and I "blended" her first two figures in Midjourney:

She continued to draw the model with Scribble Diffusion, and I blended her third and fourth figures in Midjourney:

NOMAD SCULPT

Holly also downloaded the Nomad Sculpt app into her smart phone and experimented with this 3D drawing app during the figure drawing session:

Perhaps a YouTube tutorial by Dave Reed would help.
