🧭 Midjourney Learning Navigation

To be frank, linear tutorials are not the best way to learn Midjourney. Perhaps in the future with AI technology, I can create an even better tutorial.

In order to help friends of different levels quickly understand and learn Midjourney, I have specially created this learning guide. I hope it can assist you in your studies.

If you want to teach children how to use it,​

Children are the future of humanity, so if you have children, why not learn together with them 😁

However, I'm sorry that there may be a need for adjustments to this guide based on the child's situation since there are no available samples around. Teaching method:

  • Step One: Help them register an account and then teach them how to use Midjourney Bot.

  • Step Two: Teach them how to look up English words.

  • Step Three: Explore freely.

I think that achieving this step is enough. There is no need to teach children any templates and let their imagination run wild. Then I thought about what I would hope for if I had such a tool when I was young and what my teacher would teach me.

  1. If your work involves generating images, then just pick the relevant chapters related to your job and boldly use them in your workflow. Just like how carpenters won't be replaced by power tools, but instead earn more income by using them effectively.

In addition, based on my experience, copying other people's artwork is the best way to learn. When you see an image generated by someone else that looks great, try to figure out what their prompt was first.

Then try it out and see if the generated image is the same as others. If not, then consider requesting a different prompt format.
