Great walkthrough on keeping character consistency, though I wish there was more on backgrounds since I struggled with those on my own.

Soy maestra de infantil y quería crear láminas propias para mis clases sin depender de bancos de imágenes. Aquí aprendí a describir escenas tiernas y a fijar el estilo para que todos los dibujos parezcan del mismo libro. Lo que más me sirvió fue el truco para repetir al mismo protagonista en distintas situaciones manteniendo su carita. Los ejercicios prácticos con prompts paso a paso son muy claros incluso si nunca tocaste estas herramientas. Ahora mis cuentos tienen ilustraciones que enamoran a los peques.
동화책 삽화를 직접 만들어보고 싶어서 들었는데 기대 이상이었습니다. 캐릭터 일관성을 유지하는 방법, 특히 같은 얼굴과 옷차림을 여러 장면에서 반복시키는 프롬프트 구조를 아주 구체적으로 알려줘서 좋았어요. 예전에는 페이지마다 캐릭터가 미묘하게 달라져서 포기했었는데 이번엔 끝까지 완성할 수 있었습니다. 설명 속도도 적당하고 예시 이미지가 많아서 따라 하기 편했습니다. 다음엔 배운 걸로 직접 짧은 동화책을 만들어볼 생각입니다.
Персонажи наконец выглядят одинаково на всех страницах!
Mình làm truyện tranh thiếu nhi nghiệp dư nên vấn đề lớn nhất luôn là giữ nhân vật giống nhau qua từng trang, và khóa học này giải quyết đúng chỗ đau đó. Phần hướng dẫn về seed và reference image giúp mình hiểu tại sao nhân vật cứ bị lệch mặt trước đây. Giọng giảng dạy khá chậm rãi, dễ theo, phù hợp cho người mới như mình. Có đoạn về xử lý tay và chi tiết nhỏ hơi lướt qua nhanh nên mình phải xem lại vài lần. Nhìn chung sau khóa học mình đã hoàn thành được bộ minh họa đầu tiên cho một câu chuyện ngắn.
Por fin logré que mi personaje se viera igual en todas las páginas del cuento, algo que llevaba semanas intentando sin éxito.
Finally got consistent character faces across pages.
Llevaba años queriendo ilustrar el cuento que le inventé a mi hija y por fin lo logré. El curso explica genial cómo redactar los prompts para que el mismo personaje, una zorrita curiosa, salga igual en todas las páginas. Me encantó la parte de mantener la paleta de colores suave y coherente, tan típica de los libros infantiles. Pasé de no saber nada a tener doce ilustraciones encantadoras y consistentes. Mi hija alucina viendo su historia hecha realidad.
I've been trying to illustrate a bedtime story for my kids for ages and kept getting characters that looked slightly off between pages. This course finally explained the reference-image technique that fixed it for me. The pacing was good overall, though I wish the section on animal characters specifically had gone a bit deeper.
أخيراً فهمت كيف أحافظ على ثبات ملامح الشخصية عبر صفحات القصة، والنتائج كانت ساحرة فعلاً.
Trước giờ mình toàn phải chọn lọc rất nhiều ảnh vì nhân vật cứ đổi mặt liên tục, nhưng cách hướng dẫn giữ tính nhất quán trong khóa này thực sự hiệu quả. Giảng viên nói rõ từng bước, không bỏ sót phần nào cả. Giờ mình đã tự làm được một cuốn sách tranh nhỏ tặng cháu.
