I hire artists to turn my terrible sketches into decent looking stickers, generally in a fun, cartoony style.
For the last two ideas I tried midjouney and the best I could get from it was an additional reference to send to an artist. I watched a few YouTube tutorials that offered some interesting techniques for getting better and better images from midjouney, but to my eyes those midjouney experts seem awfully flexible about what the final output will be. They’re dancing with the AI but not fully wielding it.
Perhaps next time I’ll hire both an artist and a midjouney expert and compare results that way.
If it's just a character, you want Stable Diffusion. If it's a "scene" then you might want Midjourney.
Look into ControlNet. Midjourney is not very customizable. Checkout reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion for examples of controlnet. You can turn your sketches into art with it.
That is a very good point: having tight control on style and composition is significantly harder than getting a good-looking image with those techniques (it is doable but it takes practice to learn how to engineer prompt accordingly)
