This morning, an idea popped into my head, and I got really excited about it. In my complete ignorance, I came here to discuss it, because it seems so useful for creating smooth shading, improving intuitiveness, and streamlining some workflows. However, This could potentially lead to issues with curves, Intersecting edges, And non-closed lines.
So this is a friendly discussion about the possibility of several existing brushes being flattened thanks to line/edge detection, their applications, challenges and limitations or if it just doesn’t make sense.
And because of the greenness of the idea, I did not present it as a petition, But I encourage anyone to do so, In a more congruent way than I.
Theoretical example, Maybe this:
Theoretically, It would be possible to configure the deformation using curves and customize the area of effect.
I find it very rude to talk to the community like people talk about AI.
Anyway, I have trouble understanding what exactly your proposal is supposed to do and what problem it tries to solve. You mentioned it could potentially streamline some workflows. Could you give a more concrete example of what workflow that could be?
And back to the topic, I think it would help beginners use the eraser less often and go more freehand, even with a mouse.
Or it could be useful for painting a larger area, minimizing contamination into other areas separated only by lines, in the type of drawings that are quick and improvised.
And I’d say it’s especially useful with soft shading because the optimal strategy I hear most often is to smudge. And some people might also use the soft brush for detailed shading.
I actually proposed this crazy idea, given the variety of topics covered in this forum. I was wondering if it would be useful, especially considering the edge detection algorithms that don’t use AI, which already exist in the selection and fill tools, as well as in the coloring mask. And finally, how the shaped gradient determines well from angular edges to the most central area.
But I preferred to present it as fiction, due to potential technical and performance issues, hehe.
Plus, I thought it was a very original idea to discuss.
Sorry, I actually wanted to play with the idea that I was crazy imagining things that were technically unfeasible for a modest development and share that madness.
So I regret that, Especially because I am against and i don’t like AI.
If you post directly below a user without using the reply button to a different post/user in the topic, it is assessed as a posting addressed to that person, as it is also defined in the Discourse Forum user guides all over the world. By the way, a lecture offered to every new user, at least if the user follows the invitation by our forum bot Kiki¹ to take the forum course in the initial Greetings!-PM. Just answer Kiki’s questions/follow her suggestions.
Furthermore, up to this posting from me, you two were the only participants in this topic, so to whom should your answer have been addressed?

¹ Only the names of the forum bots change, the course is always nearly identical.
What do you think of this idea? Very fictional or perhaps similar concepts already exist?
Application example, Clothing or body folds in line art, And in a combination of many fine details:
I don’t have an opinion on that. Line art is something I learned as a profession, albeit not with an artistic background but rather a technical one. As a trained technical draftsman, educated, or rather drilled, at a time when people still drew with real ink on parchment and our erasers were razor blades, I developed a deep-seated aversion to line art outside of work. I have therefore rarely attempted to create my artistic work with line art, and have since switched completely to painting.
