ChatGPT Weird drawing prompt #4: A robot with a pet dragon

I did both the dragon and robot without any reference. I think this means I’ve seen a lot of dragons over the years, which is impressive when you consider they don’t exist.

The full prompt list:

  1. A two-headed unicorn

ChatGPT Weird drawing prompt #3: A house made entirely of cheese

As the title says. I actually completed a full version of this prompt yesterday and decided to scrap it and start over. I like this version more. I may have a “rejects for your amusement” post after I’ve gone through all ten prompts.

ChatGPT Weird drawing prompt #1: Two-headed unicorn

I can’t draw horses or unicorns, so I did this really quickly to cover. Also, I couldn’t decide what colour a two-headed unicorn would be and settled on dusty pink!

UPDATE: I found the original art appallingly amateurish and have removed it. That’s what I get for using my imagination only!

UPDATE #2: Added the manes, which I originally forgot. I’m not a unicorn expert, what can I say.

Here’s a new version, using an actual horse as reference, done in my Bird Art™ style:

A Wilson’s Warbler

The photo I based this on was take from a longer-than-desired distance, mainly because the warbler was sitting on a rock in the middle of the Brunette River.

But the drawing turned out pretty decent.

Spotted sandpiper

When I got my Canon EOS M50 camera in January 2021, the first place I took it to take bird pictures was Maplewood Flats. Unfortunately, it was a gray, misty day, so I didn’t get a lot of great shots. I did get a photo of a spotted sandpiper, but it wasn’t very close. That photo serves as the basis for this bird drawing. I re-interpreted the log to something more stylized because why not?

A spotted towhee

This took longer to draw, not because I lavished extra detail on it, but because I screwed up. I sized the reference photo down way too small, so I ended up with a micro-sketch of an extremely tiny towhee. It did not scale up gracefully, being made of pixels and all, so I basically drew a proper-sized one over top of it. I didn’t really notice my goof-up until I had pretty much finished the original drawing.

But now I’ll know for next time!
