Midjourney Beginners Tutorial - Getting Started & Creating Your First AI Art

I recently began exploring the world of AI Art with Midjourney. It's an online tool that can bring anything from your imagination to life, no matter how surreal or abstract. If you're new to AI art, Midjourney is perhaps the best-rated for creating visual art. You enter a series of prompts and the AI will do its best to depict your written command. It can generate a wide range of art styles, from painterly effects to hyper-realistic renders. In this video I share some beginner tips to help you get started with Midjourney and create your first piece of AI art.

I gotta ask, why the hell is Midjourney operated on Discord? Why not just have it hosted on a proper website?

[@Varugu]

Was pondering Midjourney and wanted to get a bit more detail on how it works before jumping in. Great informative video and step-by-step, excellent addition with the comment on pricing.

[@TopRival75]

In this example with the panda, when Midjourney first presents you with four variations, does that count as 4 generations out of your 200/month with the Basic plan? And then every time you hit regenerate, does that cost you 4 more? What about upscaling one that you like; does that cost you?

[@Flitzpiepe]

no, each 1x generation gives you 4x options.

[@SaggiScorp]

Thank you so much! Because of you, I've finally been able to set up my own server, and have Midjourney to myself😂 Wow! What a difference. I did as you advised and got the $30 a month sub. SO WORTH IT! Blessings!🙏🏿

[@asahdo]

If you are a free user then mid journey owns the art. If you are a paid user then the person who wrote the prompt owns the copyright

At the moment I am using the basic membership. If I generate some work - I use one of my 200 image credits. If I ask for a variation of that image. Does that use another one of my 200 image credits?

[@Asturev]

Why are designers still thinking that we have a spot on the AI world? AI companies sees designers as the middleman and they just want to eliminate the middleman. I design book covers and since these AI appeared on the news here on December I haven't received any new clients except one that wanted me to do the design for 50 dollars ( I did them for 600) because her daughter told her about computers making them. why keep calling it a designers tool? do you guys really think that only extra skilled designers can write a phrase on a prompt? clients always had excuses to pay us less and big companies just wanted an employee of theirs to make it. Even if AI is not perfect it is good enough and that's what clients want, good enough.

[@dsamh]

We're in the crash zone right now. It's that simple. As a professional designer let me assure you that until you get experience with the limitations and labor of this new medium, you will fear replacement. Sure, right now it can make a stunning portrait, but give the head a body? make it hold something? make it dance? put it in the background? add/keep details you need? Change the lighting but keep the subject? All of that is incredibly difficult.. Just making a composition with more than 1 subject doing 1 thing is nigh impossible without extensive work in-painting, masking, creating base imagery to reinterpret etc etc etc.

[@madbuldog]

@@dsamh I agree, I also do book covers, these AI tools will mostly replace the stock image sites, but there is still need for a creative force to make the AI tools provide at least an output that is workable with. Mu usual workflow almost always requires me to make a composite of multiple images, and even do some painting even after doing all of the inpainting and outpainting that an AI tool can provide. For more complex themes, there is even more work to be done anyway, just the starting point can be better and faster with AI generated images then with stock images. And vector stuff is even more interesting, basically you are better of starting from scratch on a blank artboard, AI can provide interesting initial ideas, but anything else is faster doing directly in Illustrator or other vector based program.

[@gpd4110]

The whole point is machines should only be involved helping people better their careers. Not take over their lives. A kettle should never become a chef, a cnc machine should never become a sculptor, these images should never be called art. People want everything yesterday without working for it.

[@starwxrld]

Adapt, Achieve Overcome. Instead of flexing your design skills alone, tell clients you are proficient with AI and can make it create even better results with your skills. Times are changin, and you have to quickly change with it.

[@Asturev]

@@dsamh you clearly havent seen what AIs are on development right now and what details they can do or change. In a year there wont be a need for designers.

This is a huge step backwards in our civilization. People get their belonging from other people. You study a profession , spend rookie years trying to better yourself , aiming to go ahead of yourself to reach another level all your life. Then suddenly people start to value a machine generated images more than human art. This will lead to extreme break down in society as we know it. Not only people will loose their jobs and identities but it will serve the greedy others to feed humanity meaningless effortless options that are always a mixture of real artists work that have been data based. For us, its only art if its made by a human that spent effort and earn t skills practicing. Future is going towards McDonalds everything. Only humans can say no. If they say yes they will loose their souls and become nobody. Ghost in a shell . Wiser if somethings stay in movies as fantasies.. Calculator is a machine that helps you do your calculations. But it does not have eyes on your career. Machines must have limitations when interacting with our values and culture.

@@krishnamandal7274 I think the point is that you can use whatever you want in order to create art. iPads and laptops mimics traditional tools by still remaining tools themselves.

@@krishnamandal7274 no your laptop or your digital device that helps you transfer your thoughts better doesn't imitate the AI we are talking about here.

Just from the dabbling that I've been doing, it seems to me that there might be some kind of semi-mastery involved in getting the best outcome from these AI generated images. The few things that I 'created' I felt I could improve upon by bringing into photoshop etc. As a graphic designer I feel that it's important to understand this new technology. People were having these same conversations when quark, photoshop, and illustrator came on the scene. But, as a fine artist, I want to stay clear of this. I don't want anyone to think that any of my personal illustrations were AI. Yuk. Thanks for posting this video.

[@dsamh]

Laura, you are right but you are also in the wrong mindset to look down on it. It's beautiful and it's not a replacement for your art unless your art is a 768 pixel digital square. As a fellow let me try to convince you about the beautiful world where YOUR paintings come to life . Where you can refine a mixture of Cirrus Clouds combined with Typography. Where you can describe your dreams 100000 ways. Where you unique style is found and lauded by thousands. People think it's reductive. It's not. It's synthesis.

[@spoongraphics]

Absolutely, there are so many parallels with the introduction of previous technologies. I see AI as a tool that will be used alongside other tools as part of the creative process rather than to create an end result in itself.

[@robd92]

@@balinthonvari7723 I'm all for change, sure. But the way this AI system was set up was morally questionable. So a no for me. I can see other applications for this. But I really wouldn't call AI art, art. Because it's not the same as digital or traditional art. There's no talent and actual hard work from artists involved. AI art's only impact on the creative industry is stealing from artists who worked hard on their craft. It's sad to say that some people were trying to/or were thinking of selling these AI-generated images. Supanova, an Australian fandom convention, released a statement that they would not allow vendors to sell AI-generated artworks, especially considering the moral implications. The issue surrounding AI "art" is not the "change" or why it's moving forward. It's why and how it got here in the first place. I sure do hope this channel and everyone in this community will understand every artist's sentiment on this issue. It's not the issue of progress or change, it's why and how.
