1:01 You know what's funny/sad? They are using examples from Loomis books. How I know that? BECAUSE I HAVE THOSE BOOKS. That head construct is from the book "Drawing the Head and Hands" page 64. So they are not only using AI, they are stealing references too.
I agree just yesterday I was looking for a oc adoptable on Etsy and it is nothing but ai. I didn’t purchase anything I just saved my money for later. It is sad Etsy if filled with so much ai every where now.
Reminds me that yesterday, I had a whole debate with someone over ai art. I ended up blocking them, because I just couldn't take it anymore. Ironic that they claim to appreciate art, yet argue for the rights of AI.
@@defaulted9485 nah, it's been a while and since we're not in class anymore I'm just skillfully ghosting them online. But with the next one maybe (I hope there's no next one)
The dragon piece is literally just a poor trace of the Monster Hunter monster Rathalos lmao, that's why it looks like that. It was just a filter over a game.

She explaining about how unbalanced everything exagerated characters look spooky while I was looking at them thinking "this looks like those fnaf spooky fanarts", what make sense
I think I remember Jazza making a video about those books or something similar not too long ago. These books are ridiculous. It's not even like they show how to get to the final result either.
Yeah, a while ago he was scammed and bought the comic pencil book. And he made a video complaining about AI. BUT THEN he uses ai in his videos like a damn hypocrite smh
my guess for the second guy is that it's CG, the poses match exactly if you just rotated a 3D model, witch AI can generate 3D models but i doubt it'd make the exact poses if it was using a 2D AI generator, but then used that filter you mentioned.
8:14 that is a very bad ai prompt that someone wrote and I guarantee you it said (knight fighting rathalos from monster hunter). thats just a rathalos. its not a random dragon, its from a video game. ai prompters are so fucking stupid, if youre gonna prompt and try to hide it why did you pick the most recognizable fucking mascot from the literal most popular monster game.
Thank you for calling this awful Ai trash out, it's misinformation, and anything made with Ai should come with a massive warning label... and anyone making books should specifically say that no ai was used in the creation of their books in the disclaimer page and on the front back page with a huge sticker, maybe that will start to weed out the trash from the treasure.
I’ll explain the simplest way to identify AI art: when digital artists (or analog) paint, there’s artifacts between each stroke or at least an indication of the different strokes. AI has none of that, so it’s like a blur filter was applied then the image was sharpened 10x. No real artist would do that. Now if you just generate circles, color schemes, gradients or abstract images with AI, it’s possible we couldn’t tell
7:20 When i first saw the art style and tutorials, i immediately notice the similarity to Taco1704, one of the best anime tutorial creators, who also as books for begginers. It's such a shame to see his art being used by ai
I told another artist about Comic Pencil over Facebook out a few months ago. Comic Pencil immediately deleted my comment and blocked me. That just reaffirmed my suspicion
13:00 , actually no, they have sketches and anime "how- to"s artworks dumped in the AI Machine. They dont even have to draw, there are prompts that give you "tutorial" like images and sketches
9:33 I'm a dragon nerd so I have to say this 😭 All wyverns are dragons, not all dragons are wyverns. Dragon is a word that encompasses a lot of different mythical species, it's like dogs. All jack russell terriers (JRTs) are dogs, not all dogs are JRTs, JRTs themselves aren't grouped separate from dogs but is rather a subgroup.
Assuming you're talking about the wyvern at 8:15 , that is pretty blatantly traced from Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series. The line weights look a bit too strange and inconsistent to be a filter on that one specifically, but I think the dog one is a filter over a model.
That woman walking the dog as well as the dragon and knight looks like the ai bro stole some 3D models and used a line filter while viewing them from different angles. If you reverse image searched hard enough, you could probably find the original 3D models on some Blender or game asset store.
dang it! i had bought tatan’s first ebook and was duped! I thought some of it looked strange but on their account the speedpaints looked reliable so I had trust in it. such a shame :(
You know what? The “gesture” drawings are based on 3D models. What also makes it obvious is when you look at their hand poses, the shape of the boobs of the woman holding the dog, and how the faces look, these are all typical weaknesses of 3d models. This is also why the pointy ends of the dragon wings etc are all literally ”on model”
The really bad “sketch” of the dragon is just a rathalos from monster hunter…which if capcom finds out about them selling that they’ll be up the creek without a paddle
Art without the process of creation isn't art. So ai isn't art, it's just.. image generation. Remember and never forget how truly amazing artists are ❤
the moment when he draws on paper. Please note guys that the video is sped up. He use an application Da Vinci eyes! I'm sure, i saw many video where traditional artists tracing image with this app... All world is skam😢
The one thing I can excuse as a genuine human mistake is the line weight tbf. I’ve worked consistently with a one line weight outline for everything. I’m planning on not doing this anymore, especially for commissions. However I’m not properly practiced in that meaning my line weight would probably “look like AI” I think when thinking about line weight it truly just depends. For me it will be very clear that I’ve just started using line weight methods as all my art before is using one line weight. But if the accounts shows absolutely no progress or any sort of lean towards a more logical one then it can be considered AI. Line weight I think just depends because it is something a lot of people i trees struggle with.
Jazza also talked about how he was scammed the same way a couple months ago (I think by the same book from Comic Pencil???) so yeah I guess they did get away with this stuff for quite some time till now. I don't wanna image how many people fell for this type of shit. Stay safe peps.
I might just be seeing things just because I was playing Monster Hunter, but I'm pretty sure the Wyvern at 9:00 is just Rathalos Facial structure, Scale Plating, Tail structure is very similar to Rathalos's. The only thing that makes it different are its wings. Rathalos might be a regular looking wyvern but Capcom made him distinct enough to be recognizable when put alongside other wyverns
AI is literally everywhere, I’ve seen those ads on kindle where there are ai generated book covers of a probably ai generated book, it’s always about some random animal and “a heartwarming journey of friendship” for the book title, they literally charge money for this, one for 2.99USD which is around $24 for my country. It’s something I hope for you to cover if you have time ❤
The random dots on the second account reminds me of back when you got coloring pages as a kid at school... That were printed... And they struggled printing some designs so sometimes it was just dots at detailed places. Maybe AI picked up on that and now thinks its a feature to add.
The only good thing coming out of all these AI scams is that I'm at least getting decent reference images out of it, since Google Images is getting more and more flooded with advertisers these days.
Regaurding the gesture sketches, I recognize that wyvern model. I have it in a pose reference app called JustSketchMe. They're taking screenshots from models posed in JustSketchMe or a similar app, and then using the line-art filter on it. It would explain the poor line quality and strange detail density.
It looks AI because it's like 3D renders of 2D drawing.. like it's soooo clean and smooth, it got that sort of shading by an engine and not someone with skills and brain
My only guess 4 why the rock is so dark in the dragon piece is so the viewer's eyes will be drawn to the rock and then follow up the knight's legs to reach the main point, which I believe is the top half of knight with wyvern mostly over arm. Yet they failed by making it go directly from dark rock to light leg instead of a slow fade, making it be thiner/lighter by around the thigh/start of torso (Keep in mind this is coming from someone who just draws people in non-dynamic poses + that watches art stuff sometimes)
around 14:59 if they are using procreate, you can set an image as a private reference, and they it won't show up in the final speedpaint you can export. Maybe they are just tracing over it, using that feature, not even erasing stuff.
Before I buy any oc/ bases or adopts I usually dig around on reverse image searches, zoom in on specific details, check if the “artist” legit and not an imposter or reposter, and a bunch of other things that not everyone seems to look closely at. Usually all ai art have this weird rasterized effect no matter what you ask the ai to do the image always comes out rasterized and odd compared to other raster and vector and photoshop programs.
Gonna be real for second. Bear with me. I used to draw and dream of being an artist and in my teens I developed nerve damage in may hand and it stopped me from drawing. We didn't have this digital stuff back then. Yeah BOOMER lol. SO, when this AI stuff came out, I tried it. And wow, ummm NO THANK YOU. What people call AI ART is settling for something that might resemble something you want. Only an ACTUAL artist can give you what you want. But it fueled me. I looked into digital tablets because I heard of the stability function. Back drawing again. Re learning. But nothing beats the feeling of working at perfecting something and nailing it. STAY STRONG you all are way better then me. But we are all REAL. Love your content. It's my night time tea watch.
Actually a lot of the sketches that showed the dragon look very much like they've been done with Illustrators 'Image Trace' settings, which very often can give all those weird dots and very crazy line weight. Most likely it could be they used AI to make the original, realized the quality wasn't good enough for printing etc and then used Illustrators Image Trace so that it becomes a vector which can be infinitely scaled up and down to whatever size you want. But because they aren't a real artist, they didn't do any clean up and left it as the real shitty Image Trace output that Illustrator can do sometimes.
the sad part is that this video only appeared after i bought it :) back then as a new digital artist i didnt know how to draw in a easy way on my tablet (my basics were giving me a hard time because of the details) neither i knew that AI existed, when i bought it i thought it was just amaizing and i could finnaly draw digital in a more dynamic way. Today after a long time i find out this. Im mad but glad to find out XD
the easiest way i can describe ai art is it looking too smooth/plasticy/rubbery. human art has texture of SOME kind while ai art does not. if the whole art piece or a vast majority of it are smooth then its probably ai art. thats how i can usually tell
I really liked that types of art style, and most of them are draw by AI.... I don't even know who to get references now because the artist that draw that specific artstyle are rare 😭
Im actually pretty sure some of those “figure drawings” are 3d models that are rendered as line work, (which btw is actually what webtoons artists do for backgrounds not the artistic filtering that you did/nm) I noticed it the most with the dog barking at the camera and also would explain how consistent the difference angels are since ai has a really hard time keeping a character consistent throughout multiple poses and positions
Another way you can tell it's AI It only has 3 views all of them at eye level. Front, side and 3/4 view. You will not get birds eye view You will not get worm eye view There won't have any camera angles forshorting or on other perspective other then 1 or 2 point perspective.
aside from AI these books are so pointless. I saw someone else covering this too a few months a go and had the same thoughts. Why would you even buy this and what do you even learn from it? idk if its because I'm not a complete beginner in art and its obvious to me but this is not how you learn. Its like looking at a bunch of artworks on Pinterest. which is free btw. People act like free, actual tutorials and lessons arent available anywhere. But they are. But oh well you rather buy AI garbage that is not only ugly but also useless.
With the dog I think the guy took a 3D render and screenshoted it, then passed it through the CSP filter trick.. that's why there's many angles with all items perfectly aligned
To use A.I art an pass it as your own is trash, but then again, I don't mind people making A.I drawings as a reference and ACTUALLY DRAW the thing you want to use as a reference. BIG difference between using straight A.I art for your art, and using it as a reference.
I was going to buy this book, but didn't because they didn't sale physical copies. The book would be cool for inspiration, but they shouldn't be pretending it's a tutorial book when it's all AI.
Person holding dog and dragon with knight look to me like they're 3d models, with "lineart" made either with filters in drawing app like CSP, or in 3d app. Blender allows to generate lines that emulate lineart strokes, but this thing is rather unreliable to be left to do its thing as is, as it tends to ignore more important details and focus on deeper dents in model.
that dragon drawing of Natan, it is so botched like I don't even know what part is the dragon and where it ends, also not to mention I think they straight up traced Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series, but it cut off and thus didn't know what to do anymore.
I think you also forgot to mention the timelapse process feels very much like a ProCreate process, meaning they could make the AI drawing a private layer
I thought I've seen the worst of AI but this thing has gone to an all time low and people are even gaining profits (through platform algorithm) from this. Unbelievable.
people keep preaching how AI is a tool that can help artists but all i ever see are scammers like these who abuse it for quick profit... soooo who's REALLY benefiting from AI actually? hmmm? 🤨
1:01 You know what's funny/sad? They are using examples from Loomis books. How I know that? BECAUSE I HAVE THOSE BOOKS. That head construct is from the book "Drawing the Head and Hands" page 64.
So they are not only using AI, they are stealing references too.
I was wondering where I saw those drawing from and the art style reminds me of someone.
So they are not only using AI that mass steals art but also directly steals from a specific artist.. man

It’s sad to see so many people are falling for these, and the massive amount of scum who profit. 😞

Another way you can tell it's AI
It only has 3 views all of them at eye level. Front, side and 3/4 view.
You will not get birds eye view
You will not get worm eye view
There won't have any camera angles forshorting or on other perspective other then 1 or 2 point perspective.
aside from AI these books are so pointless. I saw someone else covering this too a few months a go and had the same thoughts.
Why would you even buy this and what do you even learn from it? idk if its because I'm not a complete beginner in art and its obvious to me but this is not how you learn. Its like looking at a bunch of artworks on Pinterest. which is free btw.
People act like free, actual tutorials and lessons arent available anywhere. But they are. But oh well you rather buy AI garbage that is not only ugly but also useless.
With the dog I think the guy took a 3D render and screenshoted it, then passed it through the CSP filter trick.. that's why there's many angles with all items perfectly aligned
To use A.I art an pass it as your own is trash, but then again, I don't mind people making A.I drawings as a reference and ACTUALLY DRAW the thing you want to use as a reference. BIG difference between using straight A.I art for your art, and using it as a reference.
9:00 isn't that rathalos
I found your content from your short videos about how to be consistent with streaming. Now I've watched every video since lol.
9:50 bro the dragons tail 💀
I was going to buy this book, but didn't because they didn't sale physical copies. The book would be cool for inspiration, but they shouldn't be pretending it's a tutorial book when it's all AI.
19:24 one face looks like Yuji Itadori from jjk.
1:34 bad to the bone ass tutorial 😭😭
I’d like to point out that dragon is a rathalos from monster hunter.
Person holding dog and dragon with knight look to me like they're 3d models, with "lineart" made either with filters in drawing app like CSP, or in 3d app. Blender allows to generate lines that emulate lineart strokes, but this thing is rather unreliable to be left to do its thing as is, as it tends to ignore more important details and focus on deeper dents in model.
that dragon drawing of Natan, it is so botched like I don't even know what part is the dragon and where it ends, also not to mention I think they straight up traced Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series, but it cut off and thus didn't know what to do anymore.
tantan didn't even change his font lol
Finally, someone is talking about this Tatan guy. The artist who somehow perfected an AI drawing style 👌
I think you also forgot to mention the timelapse process feels very much like a ProCreate process, meaning they could make the AI drawing a private layer
AI can even generate drawing process now... but like it's super obvious and weird, like the style keep jumping every few frames and there's no logic
Now these so called artist are trying to sabotage aspiring artist what a joke.
I remember Jazza made a video a while ago about how he bought a book and it ended up being an ai art tutorial book
Other way around. Wyverns have two legs while dragons have four. Coming from a dragon/wyvern enthusiast.
Does anyone know a good book that teaches you how to do the planes of the face that ISNT made by AI please?
I thought I've seen the worst of AI but this thing has gone to an all time low and people are even gaining profits (through platform algorithm) from this. Unbelievable.
These make Chris Hart's how to draw manga books more credible.
He made the dragon and other things using 3d models ( i think ive seen the dragon in an anime or sometuing ) and then did the effects , artistic stuff
people keep preaching how AI is a tool that can help artists but all i ever see are scammers like these who abuse it for quick profit... soooo who's REALLY benefiting from AI actually? hmmm? 🤨
8:30 that is legit just Ratholos from Monster Hunter
