Step-by-step guide on how to generate awesome illustrations with AI for free

1. Open Craiyon.com
2. Generate 9 images using this prompt (or any other prompt, experiment!):

3. Pick the best one, open it and create a screenshot (do not close browser tab, you’ll need it in a sec):

4. Open NightcafeStudio

5. Create an account and tap on Create button

6. Choose Text to Image:

7. Scroll down and tap on: Enter Advanced Mode (do not mess with anything else, for now, you can always go back and try every single one)

8. In the Text Prompt field, paste the previous prompt (make sure it is the exactly the same):

9. Choose “Coherent (CLIP-Guided Diffusion)”

10. Choose a Start Image

11. Upload your previously created image:

12. Set “Start Image Weight” to 100% and “Noise Weight” to 0% (you can later experiment with this, I sometimes love to add 10% of noise)

13. Set Accuracy boost to Standard (This will add more details to your image)

14. Set Resolution & Runtime to MAX (As you can see, it will cost you 12 credits. You can either buy credits or log in every day to receive 5 credits, you can also share your images on Instagram and Twitter to earn more free credits)

15. Press Create button

Voila!

After a couple of minutes, you will have an image like this one:

Have fun and stay creative!
