Who is this for?

This course is for you if you're brand new to Midjourney, you've dabbled but feel lost, or you just want to build a proper foundation before going deeper.

What is NOT covered?

Midjourney is complex and this is a beginner course. I will not cover every feature nor every prompting scenario. Some advanced features and topics not covered: the Advanced Editor (we'll cover the Basic Editor), Niji models (Midjourney's anime-trained models), some variations of image prompting, advanced blending techniques, prompting on Discord (though I may add a bonus module if there's interest), advanced combinations of several parameters at once, advanced character consistency.

Want an advanced course from me? Or a course dedicated to a specific feature? Let me know!

Will any updates be included for this course?

Yes! All 2026 updates are included free with your purchase.

Midjourney evolves fast. New models and website interface updates are expected in 2026. I will update this course after significant changes become established. The examples in this course currently use the V7 model, however the concepts and prompting techniques will apply to V8 and other future models.

The Change Log on the About page tracks what's been updated and when.

Please keep in mind that results in Midjourney always vary. Techniques covered in this course are meant to build your foundation, and your results may look different from examples shown in the videos. That's completely normal!
