Best Practices for Prompts
Creating effective prompts is key to getting the illustrations you envision:
Structure Your Prompt
- Subject - What is the main focus of the illustration?
- Style - What artistic style should be used?
- Setting/Context - Where is the scene taking place?
- Mood/Atmosphere - What feeling should it convey?
- Colors - What color palette should be used?
- Details - Any specific elements to include or exclude?
Example Prompts
Basic:
A cat sitting on a chair
Detailed:
A fluffy orange tabby cat sitting contentedly on a vintage armchair by a sunny window. Watercolor style with soft, warm lighting. Cozy, peaceful atmosphere. Include indoor plants and books in the background. Pastel color palette with cream, soft orange, and sage green accents.
Style-Specific Keywords
Use these keywords to achieve specific styles:
- For flat design: "flat illustration, minimal shading, solid colors, geometric shapes, clean lines"
- For watercolor: "watercolor texture, soft edges, color bleeding, organic flow, hand-painted feel"
- For children's book: "whimsical, friendly, rounded shapes, bright colors, storybook illustration"
- For vintage: "retro, nostalgic, aged texture, muted colors, classic composition"
Things to Avoid
- Vague descriptions that leave too much to interpretation
- Contradictory style requests (e.g., "minimalist but highly detailed")
- Overly complex scenes with too many elements
- Forgetting to specify the intended use case
