Let's explore the key parts of the prompt used to create this image:

Prompt ingredients for images

Detailed subject

  • The detailed subject is the main part of the image. It's what grabs the viewer's attention.
  • For example, consider an image of an excited brown terrier. The terrier's expression and body language convey its excitement.

Scene or setting

  • Describe where the subject is. What's in the background? What's the setting?
  • In our example, the scene is outside. The terrier is near a tree, showing it is in an open area. The ground is wet, meaning it has recently rained.

Additional elements

  • These are the details that improve the image. They provide context and add depth.
  • The green ball is an other element.

Specific style

  • Think about the style you want to use. Is it realistic, impressionistic, or abstract?
  • Let's choose a hyper-realistic drawing style for our terrier image. That means we aim to include lots of tiny details.

Crafting the image description

When describing images, try to make the reader feel like they're there. Use words to help them see and feel the scene. Whether it's a playful dog or a peaceful landscape, your words should create a clear picture in their mind.
