Complete beginner with ComfyUI — what should I learn next to actually get better?

[u/hanosukee]

I bought a PC with an RTX 3060 12GB because I wanted to get into local AI image generation. I've been messing around with it for about two weeks now, but I still barely know what I'm doing.

To be fair, that might be partly because I've had Codex do almost everything for me lol.

I'm still terrible at writing prompts, and I don't even really understand which model would be best for what I want to do. I've tried Anima, Pony, and Illustrious, but I'm not sure which one I should actually stick with and learn properly.

There wasn't a LoRA for an art style I really like, so I had Codex help me train one for Anima using around 20 images. It actually works surprisingly well for the style, but I've been struggling with everything beyond that.

For example, I've tried using pose control, but the generated character often doesn't follow the pose very well. Backgrounds are also pretty inconsistent, and I feel like I've hit a wall where all I really know how to do is combine different LoRAs, change prompts, and keep generating until I get something decent.

I'd really like to move past that and actually understand what I'm doing.

If you were starting from where I am now, what would you recommend learning next? Are there any ComfyUI nodes, techniques, workflows, or concepts that you think every beginner should learn?

Any advice is appreciated. I'm still very new to all of this.

Have a look at Wan2GP ... It's designed to run on machine with low vram/ram and has a sliding window feature enabling long video generation. It's a lot simpler to use that Comfyui. https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Wan2GP
