Little known fact: before #TerryCrews was a famous #actor, he was a #portrait #artist

@benroyce that is such fun! To be able to draw like that…
-
@benroyce LS Lowry was another talent.

there's gifted, then gifted²
@benroyce
I see nice people with talent like him and I can't help but like them.
I can think of very few who are gifted² -
Little known fact: before #TerryCrews was a famous #actor, he was a #portrait #artist
As a teenager in #Flint #Michigan he was a courtroom sketch artist. He got an #arts #scholarship to college but switched to #football. His #NFL football career was meager, he was constantly cut from rosters. So to survive financially he did locker room commissioned portraits of his teammates
Talk about range
Anyway here he is hand sketching #SofiaVergara
@benroyce I fear we won't see talent like this in the future. If Terry had a smartphone instead of a drawing pad, he would've turned into an AI influencer.

@benroyce and left handed
i saw it but didn't want to make a big fuss about it
being a fellow left hander, i was even more impressed
yes, Terry is left handed
so you can consider my post propaganda from the Sinister Gauche Guild

@jluukka @benroyce
Disagree.
The ones turning to AI have no respect for effort and no real interest for learning. They THINK they wanna be able to draw.
People still learn. In fact, the hatred for AI even pushed new people to start drawing.
Because the shittiest hand made drawing is worth more than all the ai slop on the planet. -

the entire "avatar the last air bender" cartoon series started as nothing more than a freeform whimsical sketch by Bryan Konietzko. they just built from there

Because the shittiest hand made drawing is worth more than all the ai slop on the planet.@raccoon @benroyce I'm with you. I only fear of a future where GenAI snuffs out motivation from our youth to practice and develop skills over years, decades even, to reach a point where Terry is at and still keep learning.
Anyway, my point was that GenAI is no good, learning a skill -- and mastering it -- to delight others is good. Terry is an actor I like and I did not know he had a skill like this. Now I like him even more.
Did not mean to offend. Sorry if I did.

@benroyce I initially thought he was drawing himself but then I saw him drawing hair

@philleu @raccoon @ownohmanny it just means "left" in latin
if they want to give us foreboding mysterious wicked swagger with the supserstitious implications, sure
and now I'm sorry if I threw you off your groove.
