A Word I Can’t Translate

AI-assisted digital painting with Procreate and iPad Pro.

 

This started out as a photo of graffiti. The base letterforms are still visible.

 

The first step was to retouch the graffiti getting rid of stray marks and some excess texture in TouchRetouch. The photo was then put through WOMBO dream to produce about a dozen variations. The best variation became the base layer and specific pieces of three or four others were collaged onto the top of it in Procreate.

 

After stacking and collaging the layers were flattened and, exported, and upscaled.

 

After upscaling the image was brought back into Procreate and multiple stages of repainting were done.

 

According to Procreate;

5hrs for stack and collage

17 hrs for repaint
