Style prompt guide
A solitary rooftop reader perches above a sunlit town beneath a towering summer cloud bank. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders this scene with flat cel shading and precise ink contours inspired by Japanese theatrical animation. The expansive landscape framing gives equal weight to the serene human subject and the airy, wind-blown environment without tipping into 3D rendering.
Four distinct rendering choices give this prompt its nostalgic hand-drawn animation feel.
Wide 16:9 landscape frame. Cinematic 2D anime frameIt instructs the generator to mimic a painted feature-film still rather than a modern computer-generated scene. Dropping this often yields a generic digital illustration without the wide theatrical presence.
with clean bold linework and soft cel shading:These words enforce solid outlines and smooth tonal shading steps across clothing and structures. Removing them risks painterly semi-realism, smudged edges, or excessive ambient gradients that break the animation aesthetic.
a boy reading a paperback on top of a rooftop water tank,This establishes the quiet narrative center and grounds the vertical placement above ordinary rooflines. Changing the water tank to an ordinary bench loses the elevated vantage point and nostalgic solitude.
white laundry flapping in the wind, a huge cumulus cloud and deep blue summer sky,The billowing sheets and massive cloud anchor the breezy summer theme while giving physical motion to the static figure. Omitting them leaves a static, flat blue background with no sense of airflow.
the town spreading below, crisp and breezy, no readable text.This creates deep perspective through layered rooftops beneath the tank while actively preventing messy artificial lettering on the book. Without it, the model often invents garbled pseudo-Japanese text across surfaces.

Wide 16:9 landscape frame. Cinematic 2D anime frame with clean bold linework and soft cel shading: a ceramic tea mug and open sketchbook on a rustic windowsill, sheer curtains fluttering in the breeze, a huge cumulus cloud and deep blue summer sky, rolling green hills spreading below, crisp and breezy, no readable text.
Stick with the 16:9 aspect ratio to maintain the sweeping cinematic framing that lets the sky and distant town frame the character naturally. High quality is essential here because it preserves sharp linework along the water tank and prevents muddy cel shading across the clouds. Since this is an unguided text-to-image prompt, avoid adding reference pictures unless you want to lock in a specific character design. For a vertical phone screen, switch the ratio to 9:16.
Linework defines clear object silhouettes like the water tank and clothesline, while soft cel shading creates smooth, two-step shadows on fabric and skin. Together, they prevent the image from turning into either a flat comic drawing or a smeared digital painting.
The negative instruction no readable text suppresses signage and cover typography. If GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst still puts marks on the paperback, specify a plain hardcover notebook with a blank cover to eliminate text targets entirely.
Yes. Swap deep blue summer sky for warm amber golden hour sky and long sunset shadows. Keep clean bold linework and soft cel shading untouched so the lighting shifts without losing the classic theatrical anime finish.
