Creating character art when you're not practiced at drawing? - eviltoast

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/7524114

I won’t say I can’t draw (anyone can put a pencil on paper), but I will say I have no practiced skills.

I’ve never done character art before, but I want to for this game. What alternative ways do you have to represent your character visually?

I’ve considered AI generators, but I don’t want to spend money and time tuning the prompt to match what I want vs what the AI thinks I want.

I’ve also thought about a collage to represent different aspects of my character, then mashing some elements together with GIMP.

    You can always use the tried and true Just Steal method, where you yoink art from twitter or pinterest thats close enough to what your mental image looks like. Of course, dont do this if you’re running a show.
