Fresh Draw XL (anime-manga eddiemauro-mix)

Before to useYou have to know how works Stable Diffusion. I recommend using ComfyUI or Automatic1111 like an interface to launch the model. Civitai doesn’t read the ComfyUI metadata, so you are welcome to experiment with it, and also consider that ComfyUI system is different from Automatic1111 (CFG, Steps, and configuration can be different). Today I’m not using more Automatic1111, so these examples here are ComfyUI based. I tried to make a simple translation of the metadata.This is a block-merge model based on XL models. I had to make so much testing before to arrive to a desirable generation. You have to consider that SD1.5 system is way different from SDXL, you can use both versions.This is a Checkpoint dataset, not a Lora.It is a merge, so consider that it could sometimes generate easily NSFW images. Add in the negative prompt "(nudes:0.1)" or just "nudes", but this could not help always, it is just something of some model training.I recommend you to follow me on my Instagram account, where I will explain about AI image generation: https://www.instagram.com/eddiemauro.design/IntroFRESH DRAW (anime-manga-eddiemauro mix) CHECKPOINT: Hi, I’m a product and car designer, and I’m so excited to test with AI, I think is a good tool for designing.v1: It was created by combining some models here from civitai, with a style of anime, manga and drawing. It is a good model for art-drawing (2D) representation. Likewise, it has some same style line from my "Fresh Mix Series" models. The difference between Magic, is that the last one could generate more art related to digital and 3d looking with human proportions that is more real than cartoon. The Draw one, could adapt better to Lora’s that are more centered to anime, in terms of proportions and even in some cases style.v1 Lightning: Same than v1, but I consider that is better the normal model in quality. This model is faster in generation, and it tends to put more details inside generation. This will work just with some samplers, like: DPM++SDE with scheduler: SIMPLE, HEUN +scheduler: SIMPLE. Steps from 4 to 6, and CFG from 1 to 2.You can compare the differences between Magic and Draw models:https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKvtvAYY=/?share_link_id=995366256638If you want to support my work and help me to upload more models (with better quality), you can do it by entering here and donating, I would greatly appreciate it: https://ko-fi.com/eddiemauroInstallationI use ComfyUI, the best UI for Stable Diffusion image generation, so I recommend you to install locally or use it online with some Colab or other hosting. You can find online instructions or videos to do that. You have to install the Checkpoint model to use. Put the file inside “Checkpoints” folder.Please for image creation you have to follow some small recommendations, but please don't hesitate to experiment, XL system is more precise and interesting. Recommendations for image generationActivation token/caption:  Put in the negative prompt space: “realism”, it is the most important word. In the positive, you can put any other word related to a graphic style like "Illustration style", "Drawing style" or "Sketching style", etc, you can check this miro table, where there are examples of styles: MIRO STYLE EXAMPLES. Inside prompt positive space, you can whatever you want. I use just the description of the image that I have, and in the positive space, “masterpiece”. I recommend using “Wildcards” for prompt experimentation. Install any Node for ComfyUI, that works with Wildcards. This will put more creativity to your creations.Textual inversion/embedding or Lora tool recommended: You can use whatever Lora or Embedding for XL system, for positive or negative. For negative prompt, I use: “worst quality, text, artifacts, strabismus, realistic, bad eyes, nudes”. If you want to put more realism, just put the opposite word inside the negative prompt. If you aim to put more color, use words like “monochrome”.VAE: This model is baked with VAE, and mostly the majority of the models are. But in case you wish to use the VAE, it works with the normal XL VAE.Clip Skip: Use 2. This is important to take the graphic style better of anime. Sometimes works nice with 1, but 2 is overall better.Steps and CFG: It is recommended to use Steps from “20-40” and CFG scale from “4-6”.  Sampler: I use mostly “EulerA - Normal” or “DPM++SDE - Karras”. Euler tends to be simpler and more creative, DPM put more details, but in SDXL, really there is no so much difference sometimes. Make experimentation with other samplers if you like. For Lightning, is mandatory to use: DPM++SDE with scheduler: SIMPLE, HEUN +scheduler: SIMPLE. Steps from 4 to 6, and CFG from 1 to 2; also works DPM++SDE GPU +scheduler: SIMPLE or DPM++2M SDE +scheduler: SIMPLE.Batch: In txt2img try to put a value of 4 to generate more than 1 image and watch the generations. If you have a good graphic card, you can use “Batch size”, this will create at same time 4 images, increasing generation time; but if your computer cannot handle this, change to “Batch count” that will create 4 images in a row (not a same time), but generation time will be more.Image aspect: Try to use these dimensions: 1024x1024, or image size or aspects, related to 768 or 1024 on one or both sides. For example, I use the proportion of 768x1152. Then, for upscaling a rate of 1,5.Create bigger images: There are 4 different methods to create large images in Stable Diffusion, you can check online how to. For the first method “txt2img hires.fix”, I recommend you to use upscale model called “4x-AnimeSharp”, just “.pth” file, and then installing it, putting inside “ESRGAN” file. In hires.fix option put any “upscale by” value, and then with a “denoise strength” of “0.4-0.7”. For the second method, you have to select first the image generated in txt2img and then putting in img2img mode, increasing dimension at least “1,5 times” with a “denoise strength” from “0.4-0.7”. For the third method, you can use “tiled generation”, the same configuration of img2img, but activating “tile” mode of “ControlNet” extension or the script of “Ultimate SD Upscale”, but for that. For the last method, you have to pass the generated image in txt2img to “extras” and then select a GAN model and scale it, you can also use the 4x-AnimeSharp”, model.Get more control of your creation: Use “ControlNet” extension to generate a more controlled shape of what you want, and even you can test it with sketches. Use “Scribble” or “Lineart” modes. For that, I recommend you to install this extension and then learn to how to use. There are plenty of online videos about it.Example Prompting:Positive prompt: Illustration style, a person's face in close-up, masterpieceNegative prompt: worst quality, text, artifacts, strabismus, realistic, bad eyes, nudesSteps: from 20-40CFG scale: 4-6What comes for the futureI’m already trying to enhance the model, with better merges. If you like a better model of this version, try to keep supporting me on ko-fi, if there are more people supporting me, I can invest more time to train and enhance models, but if this doesn't happen I cannot. I launched my first private model for my Ko-fi membership lv.1, called "eddiemauro scene" minimalistic scenery creation for rendering. If you want to access to private models, you can support me and subscribe to this membership. I will also start to upload here more models centered on product and car design.LicenseWatch here a Stable Diffusion license link. In the case of this specific model, use it for whatever you want in terms of image generation. It is prohibited:Upload this model to any server or public online site without my permission.Share online this model without my permission, using my exact model with a different name or uploading this model and then run it on services that generate images for money.Merge it with a checkpoint or a Lora, and then publish it or share online, just talk to me first. In the future,Sell this model or merges using this model.SupportingYou can follow me on my social networks. I will show my process and also design tips and tools. Also, you can check my webpage and in case of you need a design service, I work like a freelance.http://eddiemauro.design/https://www.facebook.com/eddiemauro.designhttps://www.instagram.com/eddiemauro.designhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/eddiemaurohttps://www.behance.net/eadesign1
