# SDXL Sketch-Style LoRA (PonyDiffusion XL)

## Overview
This project is a **LoRA-based style adaptation** trained on **PonyDiffusion XL** to transform anime and illustration-focused SDXL outputs into **sketch-like and draft illustration variants**.
The goal is stylistic modification rather than subject memorization, preserving composition while emphasizing linework and reduced rendering polish.

## Training Base and Method
- **Base model:** PonyDiffusion XL (SDXL-compatible)
- **Training framework:** kohya_ss
- **Format:** LoRA (.safetensors)
- **Precision:** fp16 mixed precision

Although trained on PonyDiffusion XL, the LoRA is intended to be applied to **SDXL models that generate stylized art or anime**, not photorealistic imagery.

## Intended Use
This LoRA is designed for:
- Anime and illustration-style SDXL models
- Draft, concept-art, and sketch aesthetics
- Educational and experimental workflows involving style fine-tuning

**Not intended for:**
- Photorealistic SDXL models
- Real-world or photographic content
- High-fidelity color illustration

Applying the LoRA outside its intended scope may result in degraded or unstable outputs.

## Style Characteristics
When enabled, the LoRA tends to:
- Emphasize visible lineart and contours
- Simplify shading and textures
- Reduce color saturation
- Produce a hand-drawn or unfinished illustration look

## Usage Notes
- Recommended LoRA strength: `0.6 – 1.0`
- Best results are achieved with prompts that include stylistic cues such as:
sketch, rough lineart, pencil drawing, draft illustration
- Compatible with common SDXL inference tools (AUTOMATIC1111, ComfyUI, Diffusers).

## Limitations
- Results vary depending on base model and prompt structure
- Strong LoRA weights may oversimplify fine details
- Designed for stylistic transformation, not realism or accuracy

## File
- LoRA weights provided in `.safetensors` format

+ # Model Card for SDXL Sketch-Style LoRA
14
+
15
+ ## Model Details
16
+
17
+ ### Model Description
18
+
19
+ This model is a **LoRA fine-tuning module** for **SDXL-based anime and art-style image generation models**.
20
+ It transforms polished renders into **sketch-like / draft illustration** variants by emphasizing linework, rough shading, and reduced color saturation while preserving composition and subject structure.
21
+
22
+ - **Developed by:** WorthyHuman1
23
+ - **Model type:** LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) for SDXL
24
+ - **License:** CreativeML Open RAIL-M
25
+ - **Finetuned from model:** SDXL 1.0–compatible anime/art checkpoints
26
+

+
30
+ ## Uses
31
+
32
+ ### Direct Use
33
+
34
+ Load this LoRA into any **SDXL-compatible pipeline** that supports LoRA weights to produce sketch-style outputs from text prompts.
35
+
36
+ Common use cases:
37
+ - Generating draft/concept-art sketches
38
+ - Exploring stylistic variations
39
+ - Educational demonstrations of style fine-tuning
40
+
41
+ ### Downstream Use
42
+
43
+ Can be combined with:
44
+ - Other LoRAs (character, pose, lighting)
45
+ - Custom SDXL pipelines and workflows
46
+
47
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
48
+
49
+ - Photorealistic image generation
50
+ - High-fidelity full-color illustration
51
+ - Deceptive or misleading content generation
52
+
53
+ ---
54
+
55
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
56
+
57
+ - Output quality depends on base model and prompt phrasing.
58
+ - Strong LoRA weights may oversimplify textures or reduce color fidelity.
59
+ - Style reflects patterns in the training data and may not generalize uniformly across all art styles.
60
+
61
+ ### Recommendations
62
+
63
+ - Experiment with LoRA strengths between `0.6` and `1.0`.
64
+ - Use sketch-related keywords: `sketch`, `rough lineart`, `pencil drawing`, `unfinished illustration`.
65
+ - Combine with an appropriate SDXL base model for best results.
