Beginner seeks local AI art workflow for concept design on 8GB VRAM laptop

A beginner scenography student is seeking guidance on setting up a local AI image generation workflow using a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU and 8GB of VRAM. The student is interested in creating atmospheric, art-directed concept art for spatial design and is overwhelmed by the complexity of tools like ComfyUI. They are looking for recommendations on suitable interfaces, models (SDXL, quantized, or lighter options), essential nodes or extensions, methods for controlling image output with sketches or renders, and techniques for maintaining consistent atmosphere across image sequences. Advice on optimal settings for low-VRAM GPUs and free learning resources is also requested. AI

IMPACT Provides guidance for individuals looking to run AI image generation locally on consumer-grade hardware for creative applications.
