What it is

awesome-ai-painting is a README-based resource list by the author 秋风 (qiufeng) that gathers AI painting material. It covers domestic and international platforms, usage tutorials, parameter and prompt tutorials, self-hosting guides, GPU vendors, model download links and industry news. Topics include Stable Diffusion, SDXL Turbo, Stable Cascade, AnimateDiff, MagicAnimate and SVD workflows. It also records the author's own AI products.

Who it's for

  • Beginners who want to learn AI painting with Chinese-language tutorials
  • Users looking for AI painting platforms available in China or abroad
  • People who want to self-host Stable Diffusion and need GPU vendor or graphics card guidance
  • Users comparing AnimateDiff front ends (cli, ComfyUI, webui)

Examples

AnimateDiff tooling options

Prompt
prompt
- cli  (https://github.com/s9roll7/animatediff-cli-prompt-travel)
- comfyui (https://github.com/Kosinkadink/ComfyUI-AnimateDiff-Evolved)
- webui (https://github.com/continue-revolution/sd-webui-animatediff)

Expected output: The README groups advanced AnimateDiff use into three tools. Ease of use is ranked webui > comfyui > cli, and all can achieve the same effect.

Base model download links

Prompt
prompt
SDXL
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0

SD 2.1
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1-base

Expected output: The model collection section lists Hugging Face links for base models including SDXL, SD 2.1, SD 1.4 and SD 1.5.

Self-hosting with Docker

Prompt
prompt
https://github.com/fboulnois/stable-diffusion-docker
https://github.com/AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker

Expected output: The self-hosting section links two Docker-based Stable Diffusion projects. The README gives no commands for them.

Prompt keyword resources for SD

Prompt
prompt
https://arthub.ai/
https://lexica.art/
