How and Where to Begin Creating AI Images with Text-to-Image Generators? Your First AI Image Prompt! [Stable Diffusion XL/SDXL][DALL-E 3][Midjourney]

If you've never tried creating AI-generated images before, I warn you that starting this venture will suddenly change your life for the better!:-)

It's an incredibly creative and engaging activity suitable for individuals of all ages. As a child, I ardently desired to draw and paint, but unfortunately lacked the talent. AI has allowed me to fulfill those dreams! Today, I can draw anything in any style and technique.

For half of my life, I've been professionally involved in photography, which also provides a creative outlet. However, AI opens up far greater possibilities, enabling me to create virtual images that would be impossible in the real world.

In just a few months, I've learned more about art than in my entire life. The same will happen to you! You'll discover entirely new ways of expressing yourself. You'll become a digital artist, and my tutorials will assist you on this journey:

www.AI-Art-Tutorials.com

I could go on about the advantages of creating AI images, but I know you're eager to create your first artwork, so let's get to it!

Currently, three image generation models dominate the market: Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Stable Diffusion XL. Increasingly popular are Flux, Imagen, Grok, Ideogram, and Recraft. Each has its pros and cons, so it's worth trying them all to find your favorite.

Midjourney

Midjourney is, in my opinion, currently the best and most versatile AI model. If you take AI image creation seriously, sooner or later, you’ll end up using it. It’s user-friendly and offers incredible capabilities.

However, it’s not free; in fact, it’s one of the more expensive models. If you decide to go with it, you won’t be disappointed. The interface is straightforward. Once you log in and visit https://www.midjourney.com/imagine, you simply enter your prompt at the top, for example:

portrait of a cute kitten in the garden, intricate details

That’s it. In a moment, you’ll receive four images, and at least one of them is likely to be fantastic. Of course, Midjourney offers numerous options and features. You can find thousands of prompts, styles, and various tips on my website at www.AI-Art-Tutorials.com.

DALL-E 3

The DALL-E 3 model is available in ChatGPT (in the paid option) and on the Bing search engine (for free) and on NightCafe (in the paid option). The easiest way is to use the Bing Image Generator. Simply create an account on Bing, and the image generator is accessible here: https://www.bing.com/images/create

It supports over 100 languages, so just enter a prompt in the text box, describing what you want to create. For example, a prompt could be:

portrait of a cute kitten in the garden, intricate details

One window, simple rules, so no specialized knowledge is needed. After a moment, you'll receive a set of four images with a resolution of 1024x1024 pixels.

Simplicity is a great advantage, but it can also be a drawback because you'll quickly want to create AI images with more control and explore other possibilities offered by text-to-image services.

DALL-E 3 also has some significant drawbacks—it struggles completely with realistic, photo-like images and creates faces that look very artificial and unattractive. However, for many other applications, it performs quite well.

Stable Diffusion XL

SDXL model produces high-quality images, has immense capabilities, and evolves rapidly. Stable Diffusion is free and open-source, allowing anyone to run it locally if they have a powerful enough computer.

This makes Stable Diffusion incredibly popular and available on many platforms, including free options!

You can use Stable Diffusion XL on many platforms, but I particularly recommend my favorite service: NightCafe

It offers access to multiple models. You can use Stable Diffusion XL and other models with Credits, which are easy to earn for free (as detailed in a separate guide).

In the paid version, you gain access to even more models, including DALL-E 3, Flux, Imagen, and Ideogram. NightCafe also has an active and respectful community where users often leave positive feedback on each other's work. You can even participate in competitions.

Creating images is straightforward. Click the large 'Create' button to enter the image creation panel, and then follow these steps:
- Choose a model (e.g., SDXL 1.0 or an enhanced SDXL model like Dreamshaper XL Lighting).
- Enter your prompt (you can reuse the earlier kitten example).
- Click 'Create' at the bottom of the page.

The panel offers many options, but you don’t need to master them to start generating images. Most options have short descriptions, so take some time to explore and experiment with various settings. Over time, you’ll become familiar with them, either on your own or with my guidance!

Now you know how to create AI images!

You can save the image to your disk, edit it, make it public, or delete it. Every generated image goes to your profile, where you can review its parameters and prompts. On the profile, you can specify whether the image will be publicly visible or remain private.

What's next?

You'll find more essential and useful information in my tutorials:

www.AI-Art-Tutorials.com

You'll learn how to create extraordinary images, build effective prompts, use various painting techniques and styles, or how to create even better illustrations inspired by the styles of the best artists. I'll also teach you how to create images for commercial purposes and earn from them in many ways.

As you can see, creating images is not complicated. In one afternoon, you can start the adventure of a lifetime! Congratulations on becoming an AI artist, and I wish you success on this new artistic path!:-)

And be sure to share the passion for digital AI art with others by sending them the link to this tutorial. Let them start creating and join us!

I have paid accounts on Midjourney, DALL-E 3 via ChatGPT, and NightCafe, so I actively use all the services I’ve described.
