Style prompt guide
A young woman tends potted balcony plants above a quiet morning street, capturing the gentle aesthetic of classic Japanese slice-of-life animation. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders this scene with delicate ink outlines and soft color gradients, preventing the background street and small props from cluttering the peaceful, hand-painted aesthetic.
The charm of this style comes from blending traditional drawing mediums with understated domestic nostalgia.
Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A delicate slice-of-life illustrationEstablishes the upright framing and narrative drawing style. Removing this risks a wide cinematic view or a hyper-rendered 3D look instead of an intimate storybook frame.
in pen and ink with soft watercolor:Instructs the generator to use fine drafting lines combined with translucent pigment pools. Without this, the model will default to modern flat digital vector art or thick acrylics.
a girl in an oversized cardigan watering potted plants on a small apartment balconyDefines the human anchor and everyday routine that gives the picture its emotional center. Omitting the cardigan or watering action makes the balcony feel staged rather than lived in.
above a quiet morning street, laundry hanging, a cat on the railing,Supplies layered depth between the foreground balcony and the sleepy world below. Changing these items strips away the relaxed, domestic neighborhood atmosphere.
gentle pastel washes, calm and cozy, no text.Restricts the color gamut to soft tones while barring random typography or comic captions. Dropping this allows saturated neon colors and unwanted Japanese kanji signs to appear.
Applies the cozy ink-and-wash aesthetic to an indoor food preparation setting.

Transfers the same drawing style to an intimate interior filled with architectural clutter.

Uses the delicate watercolor look for an outdoor European streetscape.
Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A delicate slice-of-life illustration in pen and ink with soft watercolor: a commuter leaning a vintage bicycle against a stone canal bridge on a quiet morning street, flower baskets along the railing, gentle pastel washes, calm and cozy, no text.
Keep the aspect ratio at 4:5 portrait mode because the vertical composition builds depth between the high balcony rail and the street below. If you want a wider neighborhood vista, switch the aspect ratio to 16:9 landscape. Keep the quality setting on high so the fine pen ink strokes remain clean and distinct against the watercolor background washes.
Keep the phrase no text at the end of the prompt and explicitly specify blank architectural signage. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst respects negative instructions well, but ambiguous shop fronts naturally tempt it into generating illegible signs.
Yes, replace a cat on the railing with a corgi resting by the balcony door. Placing a dog on the floor keeps the physical balance believable while maintaining the cozy narrative tone.
Standard prompts often default to digital gradients. Emphasizing pen and ink alongside visible watercolor wash edges forces the model to retain distinct drawn linework and paper texture.
