I see the promise of AI generated belongings for e-learning. I’m not an illustrator. I’ve restricted Photoshop expertise. Due to this, my choices for customized illustrations are slim. Nonetheless, with AI I can discover a stability of making viable illustrated characters with minimal expertise.
In earlier posts we checked out:
At present, I’ll present among the primary steps I exploit to create the illustrated characters I’ve shared in LinkedIn not too long ago.

Getting Began with AI Tip
I’m utilizing Midjourney to create my AI illustrations. You should utilize no matter you need. The method may be very comparable no matter software. I’ll add that not all instruments supply the identical high quality. For instance, listed below are two pictures utilizing the identical textual content immediate. The nice instance on the proper comes from Midjourney. The opposite from one of many lots of the instruments which can be on the market attempting to earn money shortly from the AI gold rush. Purchaser beware!
Step 1: Find out how to Create a Character
I solely cowl the fundamentals within the tutorials under and present some variations if you change the settings, however the secret with AI prompting is figuring out how one can regulate parameters reminiscent of model, seeding, and high quality.

There are a variety of movies on YouTube and elsewhere on getting constant characters. I’m not going to get into the weeds on this. Here’s a helpful supply for Midjourney customers: John Walter: he has a superb sequence on making a constant character.

- Make parameter picks for model, and many others.
- Upon getting a personality model you want, change the character descriptions. That is the place you may mitigate the bias that’s built-into the AI mannequin.
