In this article I crack open my computer and show how I take an idea for an AI (Artificial Intelligence) prompt to generate different style images into a single file on Canva, then how I download the images and print two 5x7 inch images per regular printer paper page. Then, I select one of the AI crab images along with real crab photographs from copyright free image websites to draw and paint an illustration style crab in traditional Gouache.
Gouache crab illustration painting inspired from AI image by artist Tristina Dietz Elmes.
