✍️ Advanced Prompting

Prompt Structure

Learn the anatomy of effective prompts:

[Subject] + [Style] + [Composition] + [Lighting] + [Details] + [Quality]

Example:

"A majestic dragon, digital art style, flying over a medieval castle, dramatic sunset lighting, intricate scales and wings, highly detailed, 4K resolution"

Negative Prompts

What to avoid in your images:

• Common issues: blurry, low quality, deformed
• Style specific: cartoon (for realistic images), realistic (for stylized art)
• Technical: oversaturated, underexposed, noise

Parameter Optimization

Fine-tune your generations:

• CFG Scale: 7-12 for most cases, higher for more prompt adherence
• Steps: 20-50 steps, more steps = higher quality but slower
• Seed: Use same seed for consistent results
