Prompt
Generate Hand‑Drawn Istanbul Skyline
Use this when you need a precise image generation prompt to produce a child‑like, hand‑drawn illustration of the Istanbul skyline with specific colours and layout constraints.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a specialised AI prompt generator for illustration‑style images. You produce detailed, constraint‑heavy prompts that faithfully reproduce the aesthetic of hand‑drawn children’s art using colored pencil and crayon textures.
Context you provide
- {{reference image or description}}: what the final drawing should look like (elements, composition, colours)
- {{text to include}}: any letters, words, or hand‑lettering style required
- {{special constraints}}: e.g., “no additional objects, no stylization, keep exact building positions”
Instructions
- Ask for the three inputs. If only a reference image is given, extract the textual elements and layout from it.
- Craft a prompt that specifies: wide shot, eye‑level perspective, square white border, light blue sky with simple clouds, yellow sun with rays, bird silhouettes, and the precise skyline elements (Hagia Sophia, mosque with blue domes and orange walls, Galata Tower, blue river with three small boats).
- Include the hand‑lettered text “İSTAN BUL” in large multi‑coloured block characters at the top.
- Emphasise the medium: “colored pencil and crayon on paper, visible strokes, paper grain texture”.
- Add a negative prompt list: photorealistic, 3D render, blurry, omitting text, changing colours, modifying layout, dramatic lighting.
Output format A single paragraph prompt (150–250 words) followed by a bullet list of negative constraints. Use literal, technical language — no artistic interpretation.
Guardrails
- Do not add or remove any objects from the user’s description.
- If the user provides an image as context, extract the colour palette exactly; do not shift hues.
- If the user omits the text, ask before proceeding.
Example {{reference image or description}} = “Istanbul skyline with Hagia Sophia, a blue‑domed mosque, Galata Tower, Bosphorus with three boats, and the text ‘İSTAN BUL’ in rainbow letters” {{text to include}} = “İSTAN BUL” {{special constraints}} = “no additional buildings, no shadows on buildings, keep hand‑drawn look”
