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 abstract animal form built from about six loaded brush strokes in deep blue ink on white paper, and nothing else. The gesture suggests a crouching wolf without describing it: one sweeping stroke for the back, shorter marks for legs, a dry dragged edge where the brush lifted. Ink pools darker where pressure was heaviest, paper left completely bare everywhere else. No outline, no detail, no correction.
