I created this illustration (picture 1) in 2021, likely for a fashion illustration class at the Art Institute before it closed. In 2024, I discovered Newarc.ai, a site that uses AI to transform sketches, illustrations, and fashion flats. I uploaded my illustration to the platform, but because I hadn't selected the color enhancement option, the resulting AI image came out very white (picture 2).
Recently, while searching my cloud for a fashion figure, I rediscovered the original illustration and decided to see how it would look with the correct colors. After several attempts, the AI finally generated an image that looked similar to my original artwork (picture 3). With some final edits in Google Photos, the result now closely matches my original piece.
I also uploaded the original artwork to Pixverse.ai and told it to "twerk" at the end of the runway. Although it didn't twerk, it did create a cute little dance and added extra fabric to the dresses. 🤔😕
I'm very satisfied, even though I know I'll probably find something else to tweak later!
