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.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
An editorial illustration built like a two colour print job: a figure with elongated limbs and simplified hands drawn in solid black plus one bright ink, every tonal step handled by a clearly visible halftone dot screen rather than smooth shading. Paper texture and slight print wear showing through the flat areas, single saturated background field, confident simplified drawing. No lettering.

Tips
