AI-generated art refers to the artwork that is created through the assistance of artificial intelligence.
With the emergence of AI art generators, people have been fascinated by its immense potential. This fascination is evident from the fact that search queries related to AI art on Google have reached a massive 368,000 per month.
In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of creating AI art for free using ImgCreator.AI, providing you with actually worked instructions.
How to Write an AI Art Generator Prompt
To come up with a picture in your mind, first answer some questions. This will be your starting point to help you imagine the image.
In sum, the prompt can be concluded into this formula =object in detail + style + artist + order of each part
This is not an all-inclusive list, but will help you get great results when you start your prompt crafting journey.
- Do you want a photo or a painting?
- In A Specifific Art Style? 3D Render, Studio Ghibli, Movie Poster
- A Specifific Photo Type? Macro, Telephoto
- What’s the subject of the photo? Person? An animal or perhaps a landscape?
- What details do you want to add?
Be As Specific as You Can
You need to tell it exactly what you want. Here is an example using the popular animals: Cute penguins.
Alright, they’re pretty cute. But in fact, they are the most common and ordinary works generated by the such amazing AI art generator. If you want to create more variation. Well, you need to specify that. Use “a single cute penguin, wearing a red bowtie” as your prompt instead.
This applies to anything you want AI art generator to produce, including landscapes. Be descriptive, and as you try different combinations of keywords, keep a mental note of how the image changes.
Some words and phrases tend to more strongly bias an image than other words, so you might need to adjust your prompt accordingly.
Name Specific Art Styles or Mediums
For a delicated and highly-detailed masterpiece, only giving description about objects is far from enough. You can also add the style that you want. We’ll use the same prompt “cute penguins” for this.
Let’s say we want more cute grey penguins, but we also want them to look like they’re an pixel art. So we need to add “pixel art” as the next keyword in your prompt, so it would read: “Cute penguins, pixel art”.
Those example prompts are extremely simple, but you can use dozens of keywords to fine-tune your results.
In AI art generator like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, you have to considerate what specific styles you want, which means you have to know more about the styles in advance. If you are unfamiliar with these art styles, it may be a little hard for you to list the art styles that you want.
While in ImgCreator, there are many styles selected. For a new comer, I think it can decrease the diffculty in the beginning.
Name Specific Artists to Guide AI art generator
AI art generator is capable of doing more than emulating specific styles or mediums; it can even mimic specific artists if you want to do that. You should definitely try throwing “by (Artist Name)” into your prompts if you haven’t already.
It tends to produce dramatic results. Don’t be afraid to combine artists that wouldn’t normally go together, either. Oftentimes AI art generator will combine their respective styles in exciting and unpredictable ways.
For example, I will add the one of the most popular painters in the world:Vincent van Gogh into the prompt. Let’s find out what amzaing result will get.
Surprsingly! It works finally! I almost notice the curly cloud in Van Gogh’s painting《The starry night》.
Weight Your Keywords
Of course, just jamming keywords into your prompt will only get you so far. What happens if you’re getting all of the right things in your prompt, but they’re not properly proportioned?
For example, here is a picture, whose prompt is “A koala in parachute gear, wearing sunglasses, sitting on the grass, in the forest“.
The koala is definitely in parachute gear, wearing sunglasses, sitting on the grass. But whether we can say it is in the forest? Obviously, we can not. The AI didn’t take in “in the forest” properly.
Now, you can change the order of the words a little bit if one part is important. The earlier a word is in the sentence, the more importance it will be given.
We moved “in the forest” earlier in the prompt. As you can see, the koala is now “in the forest”.
Find Inspiration Elsewhere
For experienced users who want to stay up to date with the most recent methods and trends in the field of AI art world, Midjourney is a fantastic resource. With an open community operation on discord, it’s a terrific place to pick the brains of other players and keep motivated.
In addition, Midjourney utilizes Discord’s community mechanism to divide sections with different functions and themes. Such as feedback、prompt-craft、Daily theme、Showcase, I deemed the very interaction become one of factors that attract most attention from users.
In contrast to Midjourney, the interactive function of ImgCreator.AI and DALL-E are not outstanding. The community just simply displays a variety of artwork on its pages. Giving a ‘like’ or try the same prompt are the only method to express appreciation.
Apart from their community, there are others website and material for prompt seeking.
- Lexica — a repository of images generated using Stable Diffusion and the corresponding prompt. Searchable by keyword.
- DALL-E Prompt book— an offical definitive PDF guide from openAI, teaching you how to write promots from 8 part.
- Stable Diffusion— This guide summarizes the process and techniques developed through experimentations and other users’ inputs.
