Style prompt

A bold editorial cartoon language with engraved black hatching, stippled gray modeling, flat saturated color, and loose expressive marks. A limited palette of coral, salmon, orange-red, cream, gray, and heavy black gives the image poster-like impact. Precisely lined focal forms contrast with turbulent clouds of curls, specks, and scratch strokes. The background remains mostly flat and open, while texture gathers in one dramatic area. An irregular thin border and small white margin suggest a printed illustration. Strong diagonals, abrupt value jumps, and tactile ink marks create a satirical, slightly uneasy rhythm.

Full example prompt

A suited man is seen from the side at the bottom of a square editorial illustration, his shoulders dark and his chin lifted sharply toward the upper right. His pale face is modeled with tight black hatching and small gray tonal marks, giving the nose, mouth, and neck a crisp engraved quality. A narrow dark tie and white collar emerge from the heavy black jacket. Above him, a restless coral and salmon cloud expands across the top half of the picture, made from loose curls, speckled debris, short scratch marks, and darker red and black knots. A few tiny fragments drift downward through the otherwise clear pink space. The background is a flat warm coral field, with slight printed variation rather than a described location. The illustration has a rough, thin black boundary and a small white margin beyond it, like a reproduced newspaper or magazine drawing. Its color is bold but limited: pink, orange-red, pale cream, gray, and dense black. The contrast between the exact crosshatched profile and the chaotic, almost smoky texture overhead creates the visual tension. There is no detailed setting and no explanatory text. The figure's backward angle gives the image a strong diagonal, while the cloud's spreading contour occupies the upper edge and leaves breathing room around the face. The result is sharp, satirical, and slightly ominous, with handmade pen texture and flat poster-like color working together.
