Isn't it mindblowing that you can tell an AI to draw your ideas??!

But the process is not straightforward when you have a specific vision in mind. There is a lot of trial and error.

Yesterday I spent an hour trying hard to get ChatGPT to draw a joyfully jumping illustrator.

Miraculously, it did draw jumping illustrators!!! But... there was no lightheartedness to it.

I uploaded my drawing to explain what I meant, and it seemed to understand what it was about. ("The image you've uploaded is a playful, stylized drawing that depicts a person in motion, illustrating various elements related to business (...) "

Mind blown again.

But the problem with its own drawings was that - it tried to be too perfect.

 Here is the complete conversation:

You

Please draw a simple sketch with black lines showing an enthusiastic person with a pencil jumping over obstacles while drawing on flying papers. style of Quentin Blake

ChatGPT

I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to generate the image you requested due to content policy limitations. This policy restricts the creation of images in the style of specific artists, such as Quentin Blake, whose work was created after 1912. However, I can create an image based on the concept you've described, but in a more general illustration style. Would you like me to proceed with that approach?

You

Yes proceed
(I like that! Thank you, OpenAI for protecting the copyright of living artists!)

ChatGPT

Here's the image based on your description: an enthusiastic person with a pencil, dynamically jumping over obstacles while drawing on flying papers. This sketch captures the essence of motion, creativity, and the joy of overcoming challenges.

You

can you make it just line drawing, no harsh shadows. Also with a smile?

 

ChatGPT

You

Ok, better. Can you make variations of this, make the line more sketchy, and add some red watercolor blobs?

ChatGPT

This time, I'll ensure the lines are more sketchy, and I'll add some red watercolor blobs for a splash of color. Let's proceed with this new variation.

You

Make it lighter. It looks like blood! also don't forget the smile.

ChatGPT

Good. Now a variation of this, with hair

ChatGPT

 

You

Here is my own drawing. How would you describe /prompt it?

ChatGPT

The image you've uploaded is a playful, stylized drawing that depicts a person in motion, illustrating various elements related to business. The person is whimsically drawn with exaggerated features such as a large, smiling head, a flowing scarf, and elongated limbs. They are in the act of writing or drawing on a banner that reads "Illustrate Your Business!" while surrounded by papers, each bearing simple sketches symbolizing different business concepts. The color scheme is minimalistic, with touches of red for the scarf, shoes, and some accents on the paper, against a predominantly grayscale background. Splashes of red, likely representing a creative flourish or the energy of the ideas, scatter across the page. It has a spontaneous, energetic feel, with elements that seem to float in a space that represents the freedom and fluidity of thought.

You

Can you draw something like that?

Here's an illustration inspired by the description of your drawing, featuring a whimsical character visualizing business ideas.
