Make it yours

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A travel sketchbook page drawn entirely in loose coloured pencil: a bay, cliffs and a scatter of small buildings, every surface built from fast directional strokes that never fill in completely. White paper showing through everywhere, greens and blues laid over each other rather than blended, shapes suggested rather than described. Energetic and unfinished, no outline.

The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
