Then you won’t want to explore her(?) [other threads](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-difference-between-outlines-after-the-sketch-preparatory-drawing-and-line-art-without-a-sketch/991209):

> There’s no difference between outlines and line art since they focus on the use of line, they’re different on they’re made, outlines are drawn after a sketch and preparatory drawing which drawn with outlines but not inked yet with ink that’s the opposite of tonal drawing like the old master drawings, etchings and engravings, the process of making drawn illustrations and making comics, while line art is drawing without doing a sketch and preparatory drawing like a doodle, is there a reason behind outlines made after a sketch and preparatory drawing or sketches and preparatory drawings with outlines and line art without a sketch or preparatory drawing?

> What terms should I use for internet artists who are unpaid or get paid a little but not their main source of income without implications of being unskillful on the word ‘‘amateur’’? , I’m referring to the source of income that internet artists have and not skill, there are good and bad amateurs and good, bad and mediocre professionals, like for example, Sharknado is a bad movie made by professionals and great Star Trek fan films are made by amateurs. Any terms should I use for internet artists who are unpaid or get paid a little without the word ‘‘amateur’’ sounding like they’re unskillful? calling them simply artists is not enough and term ‘‘hobbyist’’ isn’t enough either.

I’ve made an honest attempt to parse, understand and respond to these posts, but even as an artist, I can’t. I’ve actually entertained the idea that these are AI.
