Welcome to the first lecture of our AI Image Generator course! Thank you for joining this adventure where we will dive deep into the world of AI-generated art. Throughout this course, you will learn how to create images that are limited only by your imagination.
In this course, you'll discover the endless possibilities of AI-generated artwork. Whether you're interested in creating art for personal use, sharing on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, or even exploring paid tools, this course will equip you with the knowledge on using tools that are available for free — right from your local machine.
To get started on this journey, you will need a computer with at least 4GB of VRAM (graphic memory) and 32GB of RAM, ideally equipped with a decent processor. My setup includes an i7 12th generation processor with 32GB of RAM and a 16GB RTX 4060 Ti graphics card.
In the next lecture, we'll cover how to install the software needed to get started. To do this, you will download the “Fooocus” software. Here’s how:
Once downloaded, extract the files and run the “run anime realistic” application to get started. You will eventually learn how to generate your first images by typing in prompts of what you want to see, such as “a frog jumping in a pond.”
After generating your images locally using prompts, you will see some initial results. Every time you modify your prompt, different unique interpretations of your ideas will emerge.
For instance, when prompted with “frog jumping in pond,” you might witness multiple variations of that imagery.
Later, you’ll learn how to upscale your images, allowing them to be fit for printing or commercial use. The upscaling process can be performed using various options within the software, ensuring your outputs remain high quality.
As you develop your ability to prompt the generator, you will also explore details like settings, styles, models, and advanced features that enhance your creative output.
In advancing your skills, you'll become familiar with AI models like Arcanus and others available through Civit AI. Here you will discover how to save and implement trigger words associated with these models. Additionally, navigating the Civit AI platform allows you to explore various styles and prompts that yield different results based on how you tweak them.
Through collaborative generation and exploration, you may also use ChatGPT to enhance your prompting strategies further. ChatGPT can provide insights into crafting detailed prompts based on the character interactions and atmospheres you want to create, significantly amplifying your creativity.
The course culminates in understanding how to market your AI-generated artwork. You will learn about platforms where you can sell your art, such as print-on-demand services like Redbubble and Society6, as well as stock image sites like Adobe Stock and Freepik. By leveraging social media, you can showcase your work more broadly, building a following and attracting buyers.
By the end of this course, you should feel confident in your ability to create stunning AI-generated art and navigate the platforms available for sharing and selling your creations.
Stay tuned for the next lecture, where we continue to explore the tools and techniques at our disposal!
