⚙️ Recommended LoRA Strength

For Krea 2 , a LoRA strength between 1.0 and 1.8 can provide the best balance between the original model and the PencilArt style.

LoRA StrengthResult 1.0 – 1.2 Light and natural pencil influence while preserving more of the original subject and composition 1.3 – 1.5 Balanced expressive pencil style with clear linework, texture, and monochrome shading 1.6 – 1.8 Stronger artistic influence with more visible pencil texture, rough sketch details, and deeper dark accents

💡 Tip: Start around 1.3–1.5 for a balanced result, then adjust according to your preferred level of stylization.

For the most natural balance between subject accuracy and the PencilArt style , lower to medium strengths are recommended.
