ANIMALS WELCOME HERE : The Gaugan IA Drawing Contest on Hive

^{Image created by @justclickindiva utilizing Nvidia GauGAN}

This week I wanted to try to perfect the drawing of animals. @steemean provided us with the color of the palette for a sheep and a horse. The theme would be a farm that included those animals. Also, I wanted to include some background images of the farm and mountain.

It turned out really well as it looks like the animals are happily grazing on the farm.

I wanted to include in this drawing clouds to give it some depth in the sky portion. Then I added some shallow mountains. I also wanted to include a small stream where the animals could drink.

I created this drawing using using the software, Nvidia GauGAN. The software generates photorealistic imagery from basic brush strokes. You can add various elements, i.e. buildings, grounds, landscape, and plants with the tools provided. The program takes your basic drawing strokes and apply them to a blank canvas.

Below is the image of my basic brush strokes for the farm and animals.

Once you've finished your brush strokes and apply your various background filters and effects, the program then creates a drawing based upon those brush strokes from its massive inventory.

You can then download your finished images. Remember to save your brush strokes and each image your produce before moving to the next filter and effects.

Below are a few of my backgrounds and filters.

Let me know what you think about the Gaugan IA program and my attempt at producing digital art.
