Prompt
Full-page children's picture book illustration: {{scene}}. Main character: {{character}}, drawn with simple rounded shapes, large expressive eyes and a clear, readable silhouette. Technique: {{technique}}, with visible paper texture, soft hand-drawn outlines and slightly imperfect edges. Warm, calm palette of {{palette}}, no harsh contrast. Eye-level composition with the character in the left third and an open sky area at the top reserved for the story text. Soft morning light and tiny hidden details in the background to discover (a snail, a kite, a lost mitten). Mood: tender, curious and safe, suitable for ages 3 to 6. No text, no letters, no watermark.How to use it
- Describe the scene as a concrete action ("the girl looks for her cat in the vegetable patch"), not an abstract idea.
- To keep the same character across the book, save the first good image and use it as a character or style reference for the next pages.
- Add the story text afterwards in a layout tool, over the open sky area.
- Image models vary: if a detail is ignored, move it closer to the start of the prompt.
Usage example
Scene: a hedgehog helps a squirrel gather acorns in an autumn forest · Character: a small hedgehog wearing a red scarf · Technique: watercolor and colored pencil · Palette: ochres, soft oranges and moss green.

Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the character consistent on every page?
Describe the character with the exact same words every time (species, clothing, colors) and use your tool’s character or image reference feature with the first approved illustration. Still check each page, since small changes are common.
Can I publish a book with these illustrations?
It depends on the image tool’s terms of use and on the rules of your publisher or self-publishing platform. Check both before publishing and disclose AI use where required.
Why does the prompt say “no text”?
Image AIs often render distorted letters. It is more reliable to generate a clean illustration and add the story text in a design program.
