Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

A gouache painting of footwear with deliberately exaggerated proportions: the shoes swollen, heavy and oversized, the legs above them thin by comparison, cropped just above the ankle so the footwear fills most of the frame. Thick opaque paint with visible brush direction, shadows painted as flat darker shapes rather than blended gradients, a few strong colours against a dark ground. No logos, no branding, no lettering anywhere.

Tips

  • 1Exaggerate the proportion on purpose. Correct anatomy makes it a catalogue drawing.
  • 2Crop above the ankle. The moment you include a face it stops being about the object.
  • 3Ban logos explicitly. Painted brand marks come out as mush.
