Prompt Writing Tips

Great prompts lead to great results. Here are some tips for writing effective prompts:

Be Specific and Descriptive

Instead of "a dog", try "a golden retriever puppy playing in a sunny garden, photorealistic style, soft lighting, vibrant colors". The more details you provide, the better the AI can understand your vision.

Include Style Keywords

Add artistic style keywords like "digital art", "oil painting", "minimalist", "vintage", "cyberpunk", or "watercolor" to guide the artistic direction.

Describe Lighting and Mood

Include lighting descriptions like "soft lighting", "dramatic shadows", "golden hour", or "neon lights" to set the mood and atmosphere.

Specify Composition

Mention composition elements like "close-up", "wide shot", "bird's eye view", "portrait orientation", or "centered composition" for better framing.
