Answers: Can AI art generators like Midjourney be useful tools for professional digital artists?

• AI art generation in digital painting workflows
• Using Midjourney for character concept art and underpainting
• Pros and cons of AI art tools for professional artists

What it concludes

• Using AI underpaintings helps skip early painting stages and jump-start concept development, but fixing glitchy and wobbly AI-generated details can be time-consuming.
• AI art tools can effectively break artists out of their usual styles and help them problem-solve, but foundational art skills in anatomy, color, and light composition remain essential to refine the results.
