How to transform your drawings into art with Midjourney V4 – Step by Step

Even though I am horrible at drawing, Midjourney V4 can take my bad sketches and turn them into something awesome. I think this Generative AI technology is a great way for real artists to take advantage of the AI art space.

Because the better you are at drawing your initial input, the better and more precise result you will get. 

Let’s have a look at how you can do this step by step:

1. Draw something

Before you start drawing, think about what you want to sketch. It can be anything – a character, a landscape, a scene from a favorite movie, etc. Once you have an idea, start sketching it out on paper. Don’t worry about possible mistakes – just let your creativity flow. If you want, you can add colors to your sketch. 

2. Upload the picture to Midjourney

Once you’re happy with your sketch, take a picture of it. 

3. Copy the image URL. This will be used in the next step. 

4. Paste the URL.

Write /imagine in Midjourney and paste your URL link, make a space before your prompt.

5. Now it’s time to write a prompt for your sketch. 

A prompt is a short description of what you want or what you think will fit your drawing. It’s up to you what to write – be creative! In my example drawing, I used the prompt “Green D&D 5e monster, epic background, popping color, by Jeff Easley –v 4”. 

6. Enjoy the result.

Now all you have to do is wait for Midjourney to transform your sketch into a great drawing!

3. Block Art

Here I drew some kind of block art style. Did not really know what I was going for here, but it turned out pretty cool. Even better when I feed this to Midjourney to transform the input.

    • It’s funny how a seasoned artist needs to badmouth others just so he can feel good about himself, even though his exceptional skills should be more than enough to just feel content.

      You’re manifesting the classic traits of a narcissist.
