When a computer science major becomes an artist

Perspective is hard, and redrawing the same design from different angles is frustrating.
*attempts to learn perspective*
*gives up and learns 3D modelling instead*

These 3D renders are great for perspective and different angles but they're not very pretty.
*attempts to learn digital painting*
*gives up and uses neural networks to process the renders*

These neural networks make everything pretty but it's a pain uploading the render, and I worry the site/app might disappear.
*tries digital painting again*
*gives up and learns how to run and train my own neural networks*

I mean I haven't actually installed the neural network yet, because that would require getting out of bed and installing things on the Windows machine, which I'm not awake enough for today. But it looks like fun :D

EDIT: I am going to be installing packages until I die.

Oh I feel your pain! :-D

Although I did learn technical perspective in high school. I liked geometry in high school and it was an easy step from there.

I've tried learning it a few times, it's ok for simple scenes but trying to hold a complex imaginary 3D thing in my head while I work out the angles on paper does my head in.
