HandDawing – Hand‑Drawn Art Style LoRA
(a.k.a. “the doodle‑powered time machine back to 7th‑grade art class”)

If you are satisfied with the outcomes of this LoRa, kindly share your renders below. I would be delighted to view them, as I have a personal connection to this LoRa.

All of the images utilized were hand-drawn by me several years ago, followed by manual scanning, color correction, white balancing, scaling, and labeling. Consequently, they are not readily available online or elsewhere. This distinctive dataset contributes to the LoRa’s unique characteristics.

If you are looking for a style that more closely resembles the work of a professional artist, you should consider employing my Art By Hand LoRa instead.

✨ What it is

HandDawing is a lightweight LoRA that slips a box of colored pencils into your diffusion pipeline. It conjures illustrations with the earnest wobble, chunky outlines, and brave color choices of an adolescent artist who’s still learning—but already dreaming big. Think sketch‑book portraits with blush‑pink cheeks, snow‑capped mountains that tiptoe into the sun, or city blocks where every window looks like a comic‑panel.

🪄 Triggering the magic

The style is most reliably invoked by starting your prompt with
HandDawing a drawing of ...

Example:

HandDawing a drawing of an adventurous space hamster piloting a cardboard rocket

The initial phrase isn’t mandatory, but it’s a trusty shortcut when other embeddings or style LoRAs are fighting for attention.

🎨 Prompt tips

• Keep it conversational: “HandDawing a drawing of…” mirrors how a kid narrates their masterpiece to a teacher.

• Embrace simplicity: one or two main subjects + a clear setting = charming results.

• Color cues: dropping words like pastel, crayon, pencil, or marker strokes layers extra texture.

• Negative prompts: use photorealistic, cinematic lighting, hyper‑detailed to reduce realism clashes; this encourages the LoRA’s naïve charm to lead the way.

🖼️ What you’ll get

• Warm, hand‑pressed shading with visible pencil grain

• Exaggerated facial features (big brows, rosy cheeks, generous lips)

• Perspective that’s ambitious, occasionally courageous, and sometimes… approximate

• Color palettes that favor intuition over theory—exactly as childhood intended

(See the gallery for mountains at recess, cityscapes that just learned vanishing‑point, and soulful portraits straight from a well‑loved sketchpad.)

🤹‍♂️ Use‑cases

Idea Why it pops Children’s book prototypes Show an editor the whimsical concept before hiring pro illustrators. Nostalgic album art Pair lo‑fi beats with lo‑fi lines. Greeting cards “Drawn by my inner child” is a killer USP. Concept art brainstorming Quick visual notes without the intimidation of photorealism.

The short version: Feel free to remix, iterate, and giggle. Attribution appreciated but not required. You may not sell images generated with this model, or any model you mix this model into.

The details: It is imperative that you refrain from selling any image generated using this LoRa model. Furthermore, you are prohibited from selling any model or merges created using this LoRa model. My decision to adopt this approach stems from the fact that this LoRa model essentially captures my artistic style, particularly as it was years ago. I do not believe you should be able to profit off my artistic style, so I have prohibited that. Selling this model or merges using this model is strictly prohibited.

Non-commercial sharing is perfectly acceptable and encouraged. Combining it with other LoRa models and distributing them so long as you do not sell them and the recipients also agree to these terms is perfectly acceptable. In other words, you may not have different permissions when sharing merges.

I do ask that if you share this model or a mix of it, you link back to this page or otherwise credit me, but I am not requiring this. Therefore, while using the model without crediting the creator is allowed, if you are able and willing to give me credit and/or a link back to this page, please do so.

Now grab your metaphorical Trapper Keeper, fire up your favorite diffusion UI, and let HandDawing scribble something wonderfully earnest for you. ✏️🖍️
