On the dashboard, you'll see two main tabs:
- Generate: For creating illustrations using pre-made styles
- Fine Tune: For training your own illustration generation model
Step 2: Generating illustrations with pre-made styles
Ilus AI offers three pre-made styles for generating illustrations:
1. Ink Drawing: Best suited for character illustrations
2. Doodle: A versatile style for generating various types of illustrations
3. Flat: Primarily designed for character illustrations but can be used for objects as well
Let's create an illustration using the Flat style:
- In the "Generate" tab, select "Flat" from the style dropdown.
- Choose "Better quality" for more detailed results (note that this may take longer to generate).
- In the prompt field, enter: "A man walking a dog on a sunny day"
- Optional: Use the advanced settings to add negative prompts if there are specific elements you want to exclude.
- Click the "Generate" button to create your illustration.

Step 3: Fine-tuning your own illustration model
To create consistently styled illustrations that align with your brand, you can fine-tune your own illustration generation model. Here's how:
1. Switch to the "Fine Tune" tab on the dashboard.

2. Prepare 5-35 images that represent your desired style or object. Ensure these images:
- Contain only the subject without background noise
- Are in JPEG or PNG format
- Don't exceed 4K resolution
- Have some white space around the edges to prevent cutting off
3. Upload your prepared images to the fine-tuning interface.
4. Give your model a name and click "Start Training".
The fine-tuning process takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once finished, your new model will be available in the "Generate" tab under the style dropdown.

Step 4: Creating consistent, branded illustrations
Now that you've fine-tuned your model, let's use it to create a branded illustration:
- Go back to the "Generate" tab.
- Select your newly created model from the style dropdown.

- Click "Generate" to create your branded illustration.

You can now export your illustration in PNG format for free, or in SVG format for 10 credits.
