Make it yours

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A thin even technical line drawing of a wolf standing in profile, drawn as if it were an architectural elevation with faint measurement marks and a title block. Flat rectangles and one circle of solid colour are laid over the top in mustard, cobalt and coral, ignoring the drawing entirely and cropping across it. Pale paper ground, no shading, the two layers plainly separate.

Tips

1Say the colour blocks ignore the drawing. If they follow it you get ordinary flat illustration.
2A title block and measurement marks make the line layer read as technical rather than decorative.
3Three colours, all flat, no gradients.
