Movie choice was easy for this prompt. Others not so much.

I use it for so much. Trying out ideas, fixing reference before painting. Checking my drawing when doing portraits live. It’s the best bargain in software!

#Charcoal and #chalk on toned paper. First proper attempt at this style of drawing. This is like 50% of what I’d like to be able to do.
Hey algorithm- this is non-sexual nudity

I am never going to finish this #oilportrait in actual #oilpaint. So pulled out my iPad and did a paint-over in #Procreate to see what it might look like if I did. #lazyartist

Except that if you type in any search term, it finds a bunch on entirely-unsafe-for-work content. BlueSky seems very inconsistent.

GlynWilliamsArtist @glynwilliamsartist.bsky.social · 11d

#lifedrawing in Sheffield in the good old United Kingdom. This is non-sexual nudity … so I await the inevitable “sexually suggestive” label which BlueSky applies to all graphite-on-paper arranged in this way. I can only assume the AI classifier algorithm, was trained on highly religious content.

My (oil) painting from an all-day portrait session. And pictured alongside the other artists.
These are such fun events.

Oil painting of woman with blue hair and orange tracksuit top.

Oh look! - a “sexually suggestive” label!

I don’t understand BlueSky - an entirely normal bit of life drawing gets the sex label - but type “fine art” into the search term and it returns nothing but erotica.

#lifedrawing in Sheffield. Just waiting for BlueSky to tag it as sexual. (It isn’t !).
