Learn prompt writing one visual decision at a time.

These guides explain prompt structure in plain English and connect directly to the recipe builder workflow.

How to Write Better AI Image Prompts

Start with a concrete subject, then add one clear action, one scene, one camera idea, and one lighting idea. Good prompts are not just longer prompts; they are prompts where each phrase has a job. Replace vague praise with visual detail, test one change at a time, and save fragments that reliably improve the result.

Prompt Structure: Subject, Action, Clothing, Scene, Camera, Lighting

A stable image prompt usually moves from subject to context. Put the main subject first, describe the pose or action, add clothing and materials, define the scene, then guide the camera and lighting. Style and quality tags should support the concept rather than replace it.

How to Describe Poses Clearly

Use simple physical language: standing, sitting, kneeling, walking, turning, reaching, or looking over shoulder. Add balance and direction only when needed. Avoid mixing incompatible body positions in one prompt, because the model may average them into an unclear pose.

How to Describe Clothing and Materials

Clothing prompts work best when they mention layers, material, fit, color, and practical accessories. A useful outfit phrase might say linen tunic, apron pockets, small satchel, and soft leather boots. Keep the outfit original and avoid brand names or copied character designs.

How to Use Camera Angles in AI Images

Camera language shapes composition. Close-up, full body, wide shot, low angle, high angle, profile view, and three-quarter view all pull the image in different directions. Pick one main framing goal before adding lens or depth-of-field notes.

Common Negative Prompts Explained

Negative prompts are cleanup instructions, not a magic repair layer. Terms such as blurry, low quality, extra fingers, unreadable text, watermark, and harsh artifacts can help reduce common issues. Repeating the same negative term several times usually makes the prompt harder to understand.

Prompt Iteration Workflow

Make one meaningful change per test. Save the subject and scene first, then compare pose, camera, and lighting variations. When a prompt gets too long, remove weaker fragments before adding new ones. The Builder is designed to make that process visible.
