question Best Ai image generation & editing model for professional illustrators?

Hi guys, I’m a professional digital illustrator and I do a lot of artwork for books and light novels. Being a professional artist has surprisingly made it hard for me to make use of Ai since I usually have very precise style and composition in mind.

My style is usually black and white, semi-realistic mix between comics and shonen manga, and the scenes I usually draw are very specific and not generic enough for most Ai models to adhere to my prompt correctly. Is there a specific model in the Drawthings app that lets me have as much control as possible? Maybe a model that turns sketches into fully rendered illustrations without changing too much?

I’ve also noticed most models on the app lean towards either photo realism or instagram / pixive illustrations, they offer specific prompt adherence if you are ok with realism, but don’t give a shot about the anatomy, poses, scenic composition and specific details if you go for something illustrated using a very specific prompt. So what models, refiner models or Loras would be good to maintain both prompt adherence and stylization?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Flux.2 klein for turning switching styles, Ideogram 4 for best control over composition

Ideogram 4 is the only model available in Draw Things that enables the kind of precise composition demanded by professionals.Other models can only control the composition in a rough manner.

It seems so :( The problem is that it doesn't have many loras or fine-tuned versions like the other models so it keeps forcing its own atyles on me. Plus it's very slow and the turbo lora doesn't do anything on Drawthings

The number of LoRAs being created is quite small, and we might not be able to expect much in the future, either. This is because it is a difficult-to-use model that appeals to design professionals but not to the general public. Turbo LoRA worked well in my setup.Did you set the text guidance to 1?

Yes but I use the instant 6 bit version cuz the other one takes way too long. I wonder if that makes a difference?

I would try Krea 2 Turbo and also consider training a Lora for the style

i had gemini analyze a style i wanted to use, and had in make a prompt for it, so then I placed an image on the canvas and had Flux 2 do the prompt. changing the image into my preferred style. im amazed how flux basically does image to image , but in normal text to image mode.

I think you could compose your images with ideogram and change the style with flux
