Style prompt

Expressive ink-and-watercolor illustration is organized around a dominant diagonal, vigorous black contours, slanted hatching, and translucent washes. Cool blue-gray planes contrast with luminous yellow-orange patches and deep violet-black masses. Irregular white-paper gaps separate dense passages and keep the composition legible. Selective fine lines articulate surfaces without uniformly outlining every edge; splatters, pooled pigment, feathered wash boundaries, and uneven saturation preserve a handmade surface. Strong shifts of scale and alternating open and crowded areas create energetic movement, while restrained pale washes connect the more saturated accents.

Full example prompt

A square satirical ink-and-watercolor illustration depicts a large blue propeller aircraft banking sharply over a city. Its nose points toward the upper right, wings cutting diagonally across the frame, and several engines and propellers are visible along the near wing. Beneath it, orange-yellow fireballs erupt between rectangular midrise buildings, sending thick black and violet smoke into the upper left sky. The nearest buildings have repetitive rows of windows and pale gray-blue facades; a few small cars sit on the broad street below, dwarfed by the airplane and flames. White paper remains around the edges and in the roadway, contrasting with the dense central action. Black pen contours, slanted hatching, and uneven watercolor washes build the metal skin, clouds, and fiery blast. The aircraft's blue-gray underside has fine highlights and sketchy panel marks, while the fire glows through translucent yellow and burnt orange. Motion is conveyed by the plane's diagonal orientation and splattered smoke rather than photographic blur. The light system is graphic: hot explosions illuminate building edges, and gray daylight keeps the aircraft readable. The composition is loud and unstable but visually organized by one dominant diagonal and two rounded fire clusters below.
