AI prompts to create coloring pages

I posted otherwise about creating photo-realistic images using AI generators. This post suggests ways of finetuning your AI prompts to create coloring books. This post will highlight some options by each key variable. Each variable will be an element of the image. For instance, coloring page [for adults], [main subject and visual context], [subject; subject's pose; mood; clothing, etc], [artistic style cues]; line design and so on. Ideally, prompts should be as highly specific, concise (of under 50 words). In the end, you can swap out components to create very detailed prompts like these.

• coloring page for teens, clean line art illustration of plus sized African American woman with headwrap and African print dress, Victoria Lake background, clear facial features, face looks like combination of Lauren Hill and Oprah, cinematic, dancing and laughing hard
• coloring page for kids, 5-year old girl plays in a play room, cartoon style, thick lines, low detail, no shading, --ar 8.5:11 
• b&w lineart kawaii style fashion, minimalist style, white background, full body, picture, coloring book style on white background, well composed, clean coloring book page, No dither, no gradient, strong outline, No fill, No solids, vector illustration, –ar 9:11 –v 5

Uses & benefits of creating coloring pages with AI prompts

Background. Spice this up when you can to truly capture the potential essence of an art style that you may incorporate. Sometimes, it might be easier to create a background separately before placing the subject over it. Either way, here are some prompts for creating the background scenery.

• French provincial country side background 
• mandala background
• Lake Superior background 
• white, NO background, blurred Alaskan winter forest background
• Rather than just "a vegetable garden" , say a "vegetable garden with heavy laden papaya trees and heaping compost piles in wheel barrows"
• ___ landscape
• surrealist, forest, Japanese Garden, desert, English garden, formal garden, beach, public park

• Mood descriptions: 
• solemn seascape
• surrealist landscape evoking reverence
• cinematic    [cinematic images have a strong feeling of the mood as if they were a still shot taken during a motion picture.]

• background suggesting solitude.
• A serene French provincial backyard with lavender in full bloom and a jacuzzi.
• digital graffiti mural that evokes rebellion.
• vibrant cityscape in the style of Vincent van Gogh, with swirling stars overhead.

Artistic Style of image. This may be based of a famous form of famous artists, cultural design styles.

Other style considerations

• clear facial features
• accent lighting    [light focuses on particular spot]
• global illumination    [Global Illumination (GI) is a system that models how light is bounced off of surfaces onto other surfaces (indirect light) rather than being limited to just the light that hits a surface directly from a light source (direct light)]
• pixar style

Dimensions 

• ar 3:4    [3:4 or 2:3 is the most typical aspect ration (ar) for adult coloring books]
