Artificial intelligence that can convert anything that comes to mind into images in the style we want; It reveals very interesting results when the subject is hand and foot drawing. Sometimes people adds extra fingerssometimes is missing and even the fingers are not where they should be.

If you are like me; If you are an expert and trained in visual arts You may guess the reasons for this failure of artificial intelligence. However, in our world where technology has developed so much, this is a surprising situation for all of us.

Even to the point of dropping artificial intelligence into the language of social media…

“And if you never learn to draw hands, AI can’t copy you and make hands good.”

“Expectation: AI art can draw anything!
Fact: the art of artificial intelligence in hand drawing.”

“Being bad at hand drawing: me and artificial intelligence”

Let’s take a look at the hands and feet drawn by artificial intelligence programs. Is it really so bad as being overdone?

AI, we get you, because you’re not the only one who struggles with drawing hands and feet.

If you have tried to draw a person before, you probably found it difficult to draw hands and feet. Because even if you go to a painting course (if you have not followed a course in this profession before) At first you will be asked to draw the hands and feet only as a silhouette. In order to detail the drawing and put everything correctly on paper, you must first of all understand human anatomy, know angle and measure, have knowledge of proportions must.

So what you see on the model’s body which muscle or bone the notches or projections originate from you can understand and draw a more accurate picture. But when it comes to drawing hands and feet, it’s not just artificial intelligence; We humans can also have a hard time.

The reason for this; The fact that the hands and feet have movable and highly detailed parts (such as the fingers), although they cover a very small part of the human body.

It is not easy to draw these limbs, which cover a very small part of the human body and contain a lot of detail. Because you need to know the skeletal and muscular systems of the hands and feet separately and in proportion to the human body. Each person’s hand and foot size and finger length are different from each other. Another confusing problem… The more fingers there are, the more confused the artificial intelligence programs that convert the text we write into an image in minutes.

Artificial intelligence, of course, like the human brain unable to correctly complete or represent objects. This is for “A hand has 5 fingers” proverb Even though they’ve learned it, it causes missing or extra fingers or out of place in images with more than one hand.

Like the human brain He can accurately complete the objects he sees. For example When you first look at the image, we had a Midjourney drawing (above) of the Uruk-hai race in the Lord of the Rings universe extra fingers You may not have noticed. The reason why we often fail to notice the errors in the images created by artificial intelligence is this little game our brains play for us, just like we watched when we were little. cartoon characters with 3 or 4 fingers Just as we realize that as we get older.

In portraits it is not as unsuccessful as hand and foot drawings.

You can draw a skull and put thousands of different portraits on it, because although the size of our skull changes, the shape doesn’t change much, with few exceptions. Eye sockets, nasal protrusion and mouth It is usually always in the same place.

In addition, the skeletal system in our head is different from that in our fingers. less mobile and less detailed. So where our eyes, nose or mouth should be is much more predictable.

Let’s take a look at the hand and foot anatomy.

We have 3 different knuckles for each finger on our hands (except the thumbs). drawing a hand anatomically correct placement of every pleat, notch and protrusion needs.

So these countless details on our hands and feet, Our musculoskeletal system is quite complex for artificial intelligence. Plus, as we just said, we all have different hands and feet.

For this reason, it is necessary to add a little creativity to drawing hands and feet.

Artificial intelligence programs generally work on learning. Can process and analyze data, but When creativity is involved, it cannot produce successful results.

When you ask the AI ​​to draw only one hand, the chance of success increases, but like two people holding hands cannot creatively complement the size and position of all fingers on the hand in more complex patterns. So AI can give you something that already exists, but don’t ask it to be creative.

Another AI program asked ChatGPT, “Why are AI programs so bad at drawing hands and feet?” We asked him, and he explained why they couldn’t draw hands like an artist like this:

So, could artificial intelligence one day be successful in drawing hands and feet?

Halfway drawing of the national football team.

It is not very difficult to draw only a hand, but it is quite difficult to fit it into a whole and correctly convey the details. How many hands, feet and fingers and fingers are there in the text you want the artificial intelligence to draw; his head will be just as messed up. For this reason, we entered in the “prompts”. give more detailed information about hands and feet We can help them to make a successful drawing.

Of course, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, it will be possible for them to make flawless drawings one day. However, it is not possible for him to make creative drawings with an aesthetic insight. For learning-only programs We must not forget that they are. We already know that although they are programmed, they don’t always act “right”.
