      It is getting amazing, Pilou. As you said it seems that AI does not like curves. In fact, as it's "unusual" to have two semi-circle curves in a vertical position as in the letter "B", it iteratively removes those forms. It seems that it could turn into research on what "AI" is or is not capable of.

        OK guys, educate me. What are you referring to/mean with the ter “alphabet”. I am feeling kind of dumb (maybe it is my age setting in 😲 ).

        BTW: I installed Krita and BforArtists and am trying to learn how to use the. Yes, I know BforArtists is just s different UI for Blender but I do need to learn how to use it correctly. Krita really looks interesting but is going to takes some time to learn (I think) but it looks pretty powerful to me. I have watched a couple of tutorials and did some reading so far. Any tips would be appreciated. 😄

          @ntxdave;
          I think the problem roots in my English. I meant "Letters" (instead of the alphabet). I use the letters as a source of inspiration to produce forms. Then Pilou suggested use of AI image generators, that is kind of amazing but far from my intention. I am intended to make the audience to actively produce forms, from "letters" and I have done some as samples. I think when you observe your let me say watch, actively for 10 min, you will remember much much more compared to short glances for a year. This is the power of being active observer. So generating form is not what I am into. I am into active creativity and form generation.
          By the way what Pilou if suggesting is amazing also, although is not my cup of tea.

            It's just question of regulates influence of the start image! 😉

                So,
                Maybe I must change the topics?
                Any clue? what I have done is roughly 160 sketches + 80 pages of letters "designed" ( not all by me).

                  I can understand that : you have not the complete mastering of the creation! 😉

                  Maybe like this : Alphabet to sketch(up;)

                    OK guys - I finally get it. DUH - I am pretty dense. I, now, fully understand the influence of the alphabet being the inspiration for designs. Pilou, those are some wild/good images you shared.

                    Majid, I appreciate what you have shared and hope it will lead me down a more artistic and creative path. 👍

                        I think the title you used on the Twilight Render forum (Alphabet Inspired Sketches) is right on. 👍

                        Again, I feel kind of silly not understanding/getting what you were saying in the title of this thread but the other title is spot on IMO. I am also surprised that more people did not respond.

                          Thank you Dave for your contribution. It helps me to rectify the title of my "prospect e-book"! You did a great job as I think many wouldn't understand the content if I do not correct the title!

                            Glad my stupidity could help. 😉 It will be interesting to see what your book is about.

                            BTW, I am trying to learn Krita. It looks like a good piece of software and I have watched several videos. I am struggling a little with the brushes and the way layers work. It is a little hard to watch the videos and remember everything or to pause and flip between the videos and the application. Any recommendations?

                              I am pretty sure you are smart. It was my fault that made it complicated and as you mentioned the topic on the twilight forum suits better.
                              Krita was a nightmare for me for the first two weeks. Then I slowly got familiar with it and rushes. The brush system is wonderful but I suggest not getting into it first. I started with very simple drills and tried to master the basics and tools. I use it as an image editor and also a digital painting tool. I have already shared what I have done using Krita.

                                What tools do you use (mouse, Wacom tablet, or others)?

                                Do you have any suggested courses/videos?

                                I have some basic problems:

                                • I am not a very good artist but I like to try
                                • Sometimes (sometimes often) I cannot get any good ideas (probably related to the previous comment)
                                • I would like to be able to combine things/thoughts like people like you and Pilou
                                • Lastly, I sometimes do not have enough patience in the learning process (maybe it is an aging problem 😮 )

                                    I am wondering what will happen in near future by implementing AI?

                                          I need some help. I am tyring to learn Krita but somehow I have really messed things up. When I try to draw an object, say a rectangle or elipse, when I click to end drawing the object, nothing is showing up. I have tried to change the color and no matter what I do, it does not show up. I cannot figure out what is messed up.

                                          Also, what dockers to you have set up in the app? How do you set up the default options for using the application?
