The Picture In Your Head Is Not Lost, Sis. Here Is How You Get It On The Screen.
Day 9 of 30 — Creating AI Art That Reflects Me
Can I be honest with you about something?
In the beginning, getting my vision out of my head and onto the screen was aggravating. Not slightly frustrating. Aggravating.
I would type what I wanted, and what came back was somebody else's version of my idea. Close, but not mine. Almost but not quite.
So I did what I always do. I found my people, and I learned.
Here is what finally changed everything for me. Getting the image you want is not one skill. It is two. You have to learn how to write with precision — using words like side eye, unbothered, regal, commanding — words that carry a whole feeling inside them.
Then you have to learn the tools that bridge the gap when words alone are not enough.
Mood boards. Personalization. Sref codes. Style creator. Image blending. Editing tools that take an image that is almost fire and push it until it is explosive.
I learned all of these skills inside the DCT AI Creative Academy — a wonderful community led by Dr. Mesha Bazemore that offers weekly Midjourney trainings and a wide variety of AI tools.
If you have been looking for a real community to learn with, that one is worth checking out.
Today's article breaks down both skills in full with prompts you can try today.
