ClearLines – Expressive Comic Illustration
Clean Linework • Beautiful Flat Colors • Expressive Characters
ClearLines is a style LoRA for Krea 2, designed to bring a distinctive European comic book aesthetic to your illustrations.

The goal is to achieve illustrations that feel hand-drawn, vibrant, and full of personality, while maintaining strong readability and beautiful graphic compositions.

ClearLines can be used for both simple character portraits and more elaborate narrative illustrations.
You can also experiment with shorter prompts to let the LoRA influence the visual style more naturally.
About the Style
ClearLines is not intended to reproduce strict traditional ligne claire. Instead, it explores a more contemporary interpretation of European comic illustration, combining strong graphic readability with expressive drawing and subtle painterly textures.
The aim is to make illustrations that feel like they belong in a beautifully crafted graphic novel.
