Mastering Midjourney: Techniques for AI Image Generation (Udemy.com)

Midjourney is one of the most powerful and accessible AI Art Generation programs on the market. It is comparable to the popular ‘DALL-E’ and has its own defined style, with multiple engines/styles to choose from making it highly versatile. Generative/AI art is a new and fast emerging area and this is a skillset that should be in every artists toolkit!.

This course aims to build upon the previously uploaded Midjourney course by showing and demonstrating more advanced techniques to give you true mastery over Midjourney. The artwork you create can be deemed final artwork or it can be used in the idea generation and competing phase of bigger projects.

For this course I will be using a paid version of the program, but that is not a necessity! You will not be limited within this course by using the free trial. The free trial only limits you to generate your first 25 images and if you wish to make more you can purchase a licence on a monthly basis further down the line.

The only pre-requisite to this course is that you need a discord account and access to the internet. If you have not used Midjourney or Discord before it is recommended that you first check out the Introduction course ‘How to create AI art with Midjourney’.
