Digital Watermelon
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, paintings, self-promotion, sketchesThis is digitally painted on my unassuming computer, with my $80 digital stylus…. But no AI was involved. It’s just me messing around, getting back into the “real” world, such as it’s been. No heartstopping realism, I’m afraid….
