The original version for Krea 2 can be found here: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2867931/uncles-sketchbook-psychedelic-colored-pencil-style">Uncle's Sketchbook - Psychedelic Colored Pencil Style</a>.This LoRA captures the look of a hand-drawn sketchbook page, filled with intense, saturated colors and a slightly chaotic, energetic line quality. It excels at creating illustrations that feel personal, raw, and full of life — perfect for character art, concept designs, or any project that needs a distinctive, artistic flair.<hr /><h3 id="training-and-backstory">🛠️ Training &amp; Backstory</h3>The following is adapted from the original model's description and reflects the philosophy behind this style.<blockquote>I’ve always been fascinated by the raw, unfiltered energy of personal sketchbooks. There’s a certain magic in the way ideas flow onto paper — the visible strokes, the overlapping lines, the happy accidents. I wanted to capture that feeling and amplify it with a burst of psychedelic color.This LoRA was trained on a curated dataset of my own colored pencil sketches, focusing on the unique texture of the medium and a bold, unconventional color palette. The goal was to create a model that doesn’t just replicate a style, but encourages creative freedom — pushing the boundaries of what AI-assisted art can look like when it embraces imperfection and vibrancy.</blockquote><hr /><h3 id="style-characteristics">✨ Style Characteristics</h3><ul><li>Psychedelic Colored Pencil Texture: Achieves a distinct, hand-rendered colored pencil look with visible strokes and a tactile quality.</li><li>Vibrant &amp; Unconventional Colors: Encourages bold, saturated, and sometimes unexpected color combinations.</li><li>Expressive &amp; Energetic Lines: Produces slightly loose and dynamic linework, avoiding overly polished or "digital" appearances.</li><li>Artistic &amp; Personal Feel: Adds a human touch to AI generations, making them feel like they came from a real artist's sketchbook.</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="recommended-settings">🧪 Recommended Settings</h3>ParameterRecommendationWeight0.5 – 0.8 (see warning below) Clip Skip 2 Sampler Euler a / DPM++ 2M Karras CFG Scale 7 – 9 Resolution Works best at 1024x1024 and higher<hr /><h3 id="important:-weight-warning">⚠️ IMPORTANT: Weight Warning</h3>For best results, keep the LoRA weight between 0.5 and 0.8.While the style is recognizable at higher weights, using a value above 0.8 may result in distorted faces and broken fingers/hands. The model was trained to be expressive, and pushing the weight too far can lead to over-saturation and anatomical issues. A weight of 0.7 is often the "sweet spot" — it preserves the artistic style while maintaining structural integrity.<hr /><h3 id="trigger-words-and-prompting">🔑 Trigger Words &amp; Prompting</h3>To activate the style, include the trigger word in your prompt:<code>artspiral</code>Example Prompts:<ul><li><code>artspiral, a portrait of a cyberpunk samurai, vibrant neon colors, expressive lines, sketchbook style</code></li><li><code>artspiral, a fantastical forest creature, colored pencil texture, psychedelic palette, raw sketch</code></li><li><code>artspiral, a bustling city street at night, dynamic angles, energetic strokes, artistic chaos</code></li></ul><hr /><h3 id="tips-and-tricks">💡 Tips &amp; Tricks</h3><ul><li>Combine with character LoRAs to give them a unique, sketchbook-style makeover.</li><li>Experiment with different color-related prompts to steer the palette in specific directions.</li><li>For a more "raw" sketch look, avoid adding too many texture-related keywords; let the LoRA handle the style.</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="download-and-usage">📦 Download &amp; Usage</h3>This LoRA is available for download.
