Have you ever tried drawing with AI? You probably asked for "a pretty cat" and got something completely unexpected. AI image generation is amazing technology, but it often doesn't understand what we really want. The secret lies in prompt writing.

A prompt is like a "detailed order form" for AI, and when you write it well, you can create professional-level images. Today, I'll show you how to write prompts that anyone can easily follow.

 

 

1. What is a Prompt? - The Heart of AI Image Generation

What Prompts Mean and Why They Matter

A prompt is text that describes the image you want to an AI image generator. Just like ordering "an iced vanilla latte with oat milk" at a cafe gets you exactly what you want instead of just saying "coffee please," AI image generation needs specific prompts to work well.

 

Understanding how to write good prompts helps you with everything from automatic product photo generation to using background generation AI. In fact, good prompts are becoming the key to success in AI image creation for online sellers.

 

How AI Understands Prompts

AI image generators learn from millions of images and text to understand the relationship between words and visual elements. When they see the word "dog," they combine features like fur, tail, and ears to create an image.

 

But a common mistake in AI prompt writing is thinking AI understands context like humans do. AI likes precise, specific instructions. The first tip for writing AI image generation prompts is understanding this difference.

 

Good Prompts vs Bad Prompts

Bad prompt examples:

• "Pretty dog"
• "Nice scenery"
• "Good photo"

Good prompt examples:

• "Golden retriever playing in a sunny park, happy expression, natural pose"
• "Sunset beach scene, orange sky, calm waves, peaceful atmosphere"

See the difference? Good prompts include specific subjects, environments, moods, and styles. This is the core of effective AI image generation prompt tips.

 

 

2. The 4-Step Prompt Writing Formula

Step 1: Set Your Subject (What to Draw)

First, decide who or what will be the main character of your image. It could be a person, animal, object, or landscape.

 

Examples:

• "Korean woman in her 30s"
• "Cute cat"
• "Modern cafe interior"

Clear subject setting is the most important part of AI image generation commands. Vague descriptions lead to vague results.

 

Step 2: Choose Your Style (What Art Style to Use)

Second, decide what style you want. Will it be photorealistic, cartoon-style, or maybe follow a specific artist's technique?

 

Style keyword examples:

• "Photorealistic style"
• "Disney animation style"
• "Van Gogh's Starry Night style"
• "Minimal illustration style"

 

Step 3: Describe Composition and Environment (How to Arrange Everything)

Third, describe the background and composition. Be specific about where, what time of day, and what weather conditions.

 

Environment examples:

• "On a cozy cafe table"
• "Beach at sunset"
• "Snowy winter forest"
• "Modern office desk"

Composition examples:

• "Close-up shot from the front"
• "Full body side view"
• "Top-down view from above"

 

Step 4: Add Details (Complete the Picture)

 Finally, add specific details like colors, lighting, and emotions. This step completes your prompt.

 

Detail examples:

• "Lit by warm natural light"
• "Smiling softly"
• "Pastel color palette"
• "High quality, sharp details"

 

 

3. Practical AI Image Generation Prompt Writing Tips

Why Specific and Clear Descriptions Matter

The key to effective AI image generation prompts is being specific. Instead of "pretty," use "large eyes and small nose." Instead of "cool," use "wearing a stylish black suit."

 

• Before: Draw an image of a pretty woman drinking coffee at a cafe
• After: A woman in her 20s sitting by a bright cafe window drinking a latte and smiling. Long brown hair, natural makeup, wearing a beige sweater, photorealistic image

 

This kind of specific description can save over 90% of costs compared to professional photography for AI product photo creation.

 

How to Combine Adjectives and Nouns Effectively

Good prompts use noun + adjective combinations. Use nouns to identify the subject and adjectives to add specific characteristics.

 

Effective combination examples:

• "Fluffy + Golden Retriever"
• "Sunlit + morning garden"
• "Rattan-style + living room interior"

 

Using Style Keywords

Knowing popular style keywords from AI art prompt collections really helps.

Popular style keywords:

• "Cinematic" (movie-like)
• "Portrait photography"
• "Watercolor painting"
• "Digital art"
• "Vintage style"

 

For images going into PowerPoint templates, keywords like "Clean illustration style," "Minimal design," and "Business presentation style" work great for clean, professional results.

 

Finding the Right Prompt Length

Prompts usually work best with 10-30 words. Too short lacks information, too long confuses the AI. This rule is important for optimizing AI images for online stores too.

The Limitations of Complex Prompt Writing

While we've covered prompt writing techniques, honestly, writing long, complex prompts every time isn't easy. It can be especially challenging for beginners with AI image generation.

 

Another problem is that prompts alone have low predictability. The same prompt can give different results each time, making it hard to get exactly the style you want.

 

Introducing Draph Art AI Composition

Draph Art's AI Composition feature solves these problems. Instead of writing complex prompts, you can visually choose the background you want by looking at actual images.

 

▶ Try AI Composition Feature

 

The core of Draph Art AI Composition is visual selection. Instead of describing with text, you just pick the background you like from high-quality, finished images. This is much more intuitive and easier than traditional AI image composition methods.

 

Choosing from Free Stock Images

Draph Art provides hundreds of thousands of royalty-free images. They're organized by categories so you can easily find the style you want. Just choose a background you like, upload your product or item, and AI automatically creates a natural composition. Background removal is handled automatically too, so no extra editing work needed.

 

Finding Trendy Styles with Brand Search

A particularly interesting feature is brand search. You can search for actual brand images posted on social media and use those for AI composition. For example, searching brand names like "Muji," "IKEA," or "Starbucks" shows you real image styles from those brands. This lets you easily apply realistic, trendy styles that would be hard to achieve with prompts alone.

 

Draph Art's AI Composition feature is a smart way to get highly predictable, professional-level results without complex prompt writing.
