In this class I helped hone in essentially what I had started doing. I was using ai to help me visualise as I am pretty sure I have Aphantasia and cannot see in my head. As such I find thumbnailing and composition hard to do unless it is in front of me. This course helped me follow a structure and it was really fun using it like another person and brain storming as that's exactly how it feels.

I knew I wanted to illustrate a Mummy and Baby stegosaurus. From there I liked the blowing bubbles idea and mushroom forest. However overtime and with the thumbnails I did I realised doing mushrooms might be out of my skill level.

I did a quick mock up in Procreate to get colours as I intended on painting this with acrylic on a small canvas.

If I am honest my final painting is not what I hoped for as I am so used to outlining in my art. It feels unnatural not to but have been trying to practise.

I didn't keep any of the photos Bing AI generated for me but most of them was to figure out composition.

Thank you for inspiring me to use a tool to inspire me (haha).
