Recipe

The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.

A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.

This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.

Prompt

A fast fashion drawing made with a loaded brush in one single ink colour on plain white paper. The hat, the jaw and the fall of the hair described in a handful of confident sweeping strokes, the marks drying ragged and dry brushed at their ends, most of the paper left completely empty. Nothing closed, nothing corrected, no second colour, no lettering. Subject: a woman in a baseball cap looking down.

Tips

  • 1Ask for a specific small number of strokes. It forces the economy.
  • 2Dry brushed ends are what prove it was a real brush.
