MAKE ART with Artificial IntelligenceA guide on practical artificial intelligence for drawing, art, illustration, and design - for everyone interested in creativity, art, and technology. The book has hundreds of original illustrations made or augmented with AI, 20+ online and video tutorials, 35+ Python notebooks, a GitHub repository and a blockchain art gallery. Written and illustrated by Kevin Ashley, a Microsoft developer hall of fame engineer, and an author of books and courses on artificial intelligence. Think of this book as v3.0 of your drawing class manual on how to sketch, draw faces, emotions, body poses, landscapes, apply light, color, style, emotion, expressions, perspective, generate animations, speech and more with artificial intelligence. All artwork from this book is created or augmented with machine learning and available in online NFT gallery, as well as tutorials and practical examples.The impact of this book in data science community inspired a group of Microsoft engineers and data scientists to implement a project they called Azure Picasso to streamline the path from a conceptual artwork, enhanced with artificial intelligence to publishing art in online galleries.REVIEWSThis is similar to the best lecture classes I had in college where the professor talked in class about the concepts and fundamentals but then gave us homework that would let us experiment and try out the concepts hands-on.From As an artist who has 30 years of artwork looking to share, I love this book because it's approachable to the novice and useful to the expert.EDITIONS

Beautiful book and a great read in technology and art!
This is a fantastic book that brings together art, technology and explains how to sell art in the age of AI and Blockchain for the rest of us. If you like art, or drawing, it'll inspire you to rediscover yourself as an artist in the age of technology. May be you sell your next NFT artwork for $69 million, may be not, but you certainly will feel good about reading it. It reads like a fun "how to draw" 3.0 tutorial, has lots of great illustrations, made with Artificial Intelligence and cool online tutorials.

Interesting info combined with constant self promotion
I enjoyed the pragmatic approach and python notebooks but the constant attemp to plug his NFTs was quite off-putting. Also many duplicate images.

Still have much to learn about the AI space, but I found this read too wordy and repetitive.
