Hey Drone Squad! What if you could have your own, free Drone Girl coloring book?

I’ve been diving deeper into the world of AI and tools like ChatGPT, exploring how they can be used in the drone industry. One cool feature within ChatGPT is the ability to create custom versions, like an image generator. In fact, I’ve used it to create many of the images you see on The Drone Girl! There’s also an FPV Drone Tech Advisor, a super helpful tool for answering questions like, “What’s the best motor choice for my new project?” when you’re building your own FPV drone.

But one of my favorite features so far is Coloring Book Hero. It allows you to take any idea and turn it into a coloring book page. So, naturally, I created The Drone Girl Coloring Book—and I wanted to share it with you! You can download it, print it out, and start coloring away.

How to make your own coloring book

Making your coloring book is easier than you’d think! You can upload an image as a guide for the AI, though it won’t copy it exactly—it uses your image for inspiration. 

For example, I uploaded the image to the right and used this prompt: 

“This is a cartoon image of a girl with a superhero cape and a drone behind her with the words ‘I fly like a girl’ in a cloud. It’s a semi-realistic cartoon but minimalist. Please turn it into a coloring page.”

When creating more pages, I realized that keeping the prompts simple and direct gave me the best results. If you provide too many directions, it can confuse the AI. In one of my early pages, the AI gave the Drone Girl a Superman “S” on her shirt. I asked it to remove the “S,” but after a few tries, it couldn’t quite get it right. So, I found it was easier to start fresh with a new prompt.

I also discovered that the AI isn’t the best at generating text within images. Initially, I wanted phrases like “I fly like a girl” or thedronelady.com to appear on the page. But after a few tries, I gave up on asking the AI for text and instead uploaded the images to Canva, where I could easily add the words. This made it much easier to control the fonts and keep my branding consistent.

At times, I’d get images with random elements like markers, desks, or other things that didn’t quite belong in a coloring book. (Like the image to the left.) When that happened, I found it easier to start the prompt over rather than trying to get the AI to remove these extras. 

Once I found an image style I liked, I asked the AI to create more scenes, like “girl getting a drone delivery” or “fixing a drone.” Sometimes the lines in the images would come out a bit blurry, so I would ask the AI to “make this image again, but make sure the lines are sharp,” which usually solved the problem.

I hope you enjoy The Drone Girl Coloring Book as much as I do! Let us know if you end up making your own.
