When Bob Ross scrapes his knife across a canvas to create a jagged rock field, he doesn't have a detailed plan for exactly which rocks will appear and where. But he knows that that it will create a a rough patchy area alternating between two colors that will look like shadows in the context where he's doing it.
When you use the pencil tool across the screen in photoshop, it works just as a pencil on paper.
The difference is not so clear as you imply.
- 4ndrewl 1y agoThe difference surely is that Bob scrapes the knife, not Bob instructs the knife to scrape paint?
- recursive 1y agoI'm not sure there's a clear difference. When using a wacom tablet, using the pencil tool in photoshop is very similar to using a pencil. You're "instructing" the pencil tool to move by moving the pencil controller with respect to the tablet. I know AI slop art when I see it, and I have no interest it making or "consuming" it. But I don't think I could construct a robust definition that would stand up to adversarial scrutiny.
