Bring the essentials

Portrait
Illustration direction
Expression and scene

Choose a visual direction and adapt the description before generating. Turn on optional design refinement if you want help with composition, colors or layout. Keep your facts and exact wording in the brief.

Describe visual traits directly

Choose line quality, texture, proportions, lighting and palette. Those details give a more useful direction than asking for a generic cartoon. A small prop can communicate character without a long backstory.

Use the reference for what matters

If you start with a portrait, say which facial features, hairstyle or clothes should remain. Illustration changes proportions, so review the result for the likeness and mood you intended.
