Whether you’re a seasoned AI artist or just starting out, this guide will help you make the most of AI art techniques to create stunning, one-of-a-kind images.

Be sure to check out our latest video tutorial at the bottom of this post, where Jessica from The Real AI Agents takes you through the entire process of using the new Leonardo AI Style Reference feature.

What Is the Latest Leonardo AI Update?

The newest Leonardo AI update introduces Style Reference, a game-changing feature in their Phoenix XL model. With Style Reference, artists can now guide AI-generated images using their own styles or inspiration from existing images. This feature opens up limitless possibilities, making it easier to craft images that align with specific artistic visions. No more generic outputs—now, your creations can truly reflect your personal style.

Why Style Reference Matters in AI Art Techniques

When it comes to AI art techniques, being able to specify style is a huge breakthrough. Before this, generative AI art relied primarily on text prompts, which could sometimes lead to unpredictable or limited results. By introducing Style Reference, Leonardo AI now allows creators to add a visual cue that acts as a foundation for the AI to interpret, resulting in much more cohesive and artistically satisfying outcomes.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Leonardo AI and Style Reference

To make sure you’re getting the best possible results from the Leonardo AI update, here are a few pro tips:

  1. Choose High-Quality Style References: The better the image you use for the style reference, the better the outcome. Look for images with strong visual identity and high resolution.
  2. Experiment with Text Prompts: While the style reference sets the tone, your text prompts can guide the subject matter. Mix and match until you find the perfect balance between the two.
  3. Try Multiple Outputs: Don’t settle on the first image. Use the iterative nature of generative AI art to produce multiple outputs and then pick the one that best fits your vision.
  4. Stay Creative: Don’t be afraid to push boundaries with your references and prompts. The more you experiment, the more unique and personalized your artwork will become.
