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.
A drawing made almost entirely of a single searching contour line that wanders, doubles back on itself and leaves gaps where the hand lifted. Two or three small patches of flat colour dropped in without following the line, plain white paper everywhere else, not a single closed shape in the drawing. Confident, fast, unfinished. No shading, no hatching.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips
- 1Gaps in the line are essential. A closed outline makes it clip art.
- 2Let the colour patches ignore the line entirely.
