From Flat Drawing To Photorealistic Image

I always liked to draw, although I was never particularly good at it. At one point, I made a series of sketches -more than 10 years ago-, where I drew some fashion designs inspired by the theme of superheroes. I had wanted to bring those designs to life, but for one reason or another, I never actually did. However, it has given me great satisfaction and joy to be able to transform a simple drawing into a realistic photograph, thanks to the magic of this wonderful AI tool, and the result has far exceeded my expectations!

The hand-drawn sketch

I often see on various social media platforms that when some people see something generated with AI, they automatically dismiss it, saying things in a disappointed tone: "Bah, it's not real, it's AI!" In my opinion, though, they underestimate the work that goes into it and the vast range of useful possibilities AI offers.

This is the first time I've written a post here, I just wanted to share the joy I've felt seeing my designs move from flat drawing to a realistic format, even though it seems paradoxical because we already know that… Bah, it's not real, it's AI!
