With this technology, you can draw anything you want and watch as the AI generates an image based on your drawing. This is a great way to explore your creativity and create unique images that you can use for a variety of purposes.
Checking Hardware Compatibility
Before you can install realtime local AI drawing on your computer, you need to make sure that your hardware is compatible. To do this, you need to check if you have good enough hardware to run this local AI. We're going to do this by holding down the windows key and then pressing X. It's going to bring up a little tab here. We're going to want to click on task manager. Once we click on that, a little window is going to pop up. Now, depending on whether or not you're on Windows 11 or 10, these little icons are either going to be on the left-hand side or they're going to be up towards the top. What we are going to be looking for is the performance tab. Click on that performance tab, and you'll be brought to this screen.
Installing 7zip
The first thing that we're going to do here is click the first link in the description labeled 7zip. You don't technically need 7zip to do what we're doing today. However, 7zip will make unpacking a lot of the files we use today a lot faster. It's great free software, and honestly, if you have a computer, it's definitely worth it to keep 7zip around. We're going to want to go ahead and download the 64bit windows. Just click the download link, and it will automatically download.
Downloading SDXL Turbo

Once we click that, it's going to automatically start our SDXL Turbo download.
Downloading Upscale Models
The third link in the description labeled upscale models is going to be for comfy UI. Comfy UI is the user interface that we're going to be interacting with when using our realtime drawing AI. This link will take you immediately to the windows download for this.
Installing Comfy UI

The first thing that we're going to want to do is click the second link in the description labeled SDXL Turbo download. Once we have that downloaded, we're going to want to go ahead and click the third link in the description labeled upscale models.
Installing Git
We're going to want to go ahead and install Git. This is another one of those softwares that's just going to make things a little bit easier for us today. We've put a lot of time into trying to make this as easy and simple as possible for you guys. We're going to want to get the Standalone installer 64bit Git for Windows setup.
Installing Comfy UI Manager
Now that we have Git installed, we can go ahead and click the sixth link down in the description below labeled Comfy UI Manager. We have to install Comfy UI Manager. That's the reason we needed to install Git.
Installing Missing Custom Nodes
Now that we have Comfy UI Manager installed, we can go ahead and install the missing custom nodes. This is automatically going to install the nodes that are necessary to run my custom workflow.
Using the Custom Workflow
Now that we have everything installed, we can go ahead and start using the custom workflow. This is where the magic begins. We're going to go ahead and click on the edit right here, which says edit in another tab. It's going to open up a new tab with a drawing.
Realtime Drawing
This is where things get amazing. We're going to go ahead and start our drawing here with some grass. Every time you release your drawing pen, by the way, is when the image updates as you can see, and now it updates in real time.
Upscaling Images
If you want to upscale your images, you can do that too. We're going to go ahead and click on the first one that says load upscale model. Hold the control button then press M, and it will reload that module back in.
Saving Images
When you want to save your image, everything that we generated so far, all those individual images, none of those saved anywhere. So we want to load an upscale model. We downloaded a bunch of them.
Exiting Comfy UI
When you want to exit out of Comfy UI, just close the window and then close that little command tab.
