Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- “Layered colors”: This tells the AI to create the rich, luminous look of blended colored pencils rather than flat digital color.
- “Fine pencil strokes”: Ensures the texture looks hand-drawn rather than painted.
- Avoid “sketch”: Calling it a “sketch” often makes the AI produce unfinished or messy work; use “illustration” or “drawing” for polished colored pencil art.
- Pairs well with: Pencil Sketch, Yarn Amigurumi (for cute concepts)
