November 17, 2023 -- Portrait

The portrait session on Friday nights is free, but the artists had to give their drawings to the sitter. This session was at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:

BLENDED in MIDJOURNEY
using AI

I blended two of my portraits using AI in Midjourney to get a different result:

LCM

I experimented with a realtime LCM (latent consistency model) program on Google Collab -- lcm_controlnet_scribble_draw_colab.ipynb.  Once the Collab started up it gave me a Gradio link, to use the program in my web browser.

Basically one draws in the left window, and AI generates an image -- in REAL TIME -- in the right window.  I also uploaded one of my drawings and added a prompt: "drawing of a portrait of a man."

The AI works fast, and generates a new image every time I draw a line, sometimes even sooner than that.





Ideally I can set up an LCM so that I can draw the model on a tablet, and AI will correct my drawing in real time -- better yet, based on my style.  Krea.AI will do just this, I think, and I'm on the waiting list.
