This beginner tutorial introduces Draw Things on iPad, with interface notes for Mac and iPhone. The speaker normally downloads models for on-device use but uses the free community cloud server here. The demonstrated workflow requires an online connection and does not cover local model installation.

The walkthrough covers projects, Apple ID sign-in, preferences and the parameter, canvas and history panels. For generation, the speaker selects a BF16 model and applies an acceleration LoRA with four steps and text guidance of 1.0. The example uses DPM++ 2M trailing at 2048 × 1152, with resolution-dependent shift disabled. The speaker explains how model choice, image size and step count affect the displayed compute budget, and says the free account cannot use custom LoRAs.

For editing, the speaker selects Klein 9B KV, disables the incompatible acceleration LoRA and switches the model to edit mode. A prompt changes the subject's hair to blonde without a mask. The speaker chooses DDIM trailing because, in their opinion, it changes the original image least. The tutorial also explains how history thumbnails restore images and their settings, then shows export options for Photos and Files.
