How to write a clue

I then show you how to write good input for these AI image generators to get the best results.

And just remember, no input will save you if the tools you use are bad.

So if you get bad results, it’s not your fault.

This is because the device is damaged. These tips will only improve the results, but even blindfolded, you will get good results.

If not, just try one more.

But now, let me show you a quick strategy.

1. Start with a clear structure

Use this formula:

Subject + Style + Details + Output Format

Example:

“A golden retriever playing on the beach at sunset, photorealistic, shot with Nikon D850, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field.”

This one sentence gives AI everything it needs: subject, setting, realism and technical tone.

2. Define the topic well

Don’t just say “man” or “cat.”

Be specific about what they’re doing, how they look, what they’re wearing, and overall mood.

Example:

“An old man wearing a tweed jacket, sitting by a cloudy lake, smiling gently while holding a fishing rod.”

Adding action and emotion gives the AI ​​context, so the image feels alive rather than static.

3. Add style and medium

Decide what you want the image to look like.

Photo, painting, 3D render, digital art, etc.

Example:

“Annie Leibovitz, dramatic side lighting, cinematic portrait in 4K image style.”

Or for art:

“Watercolor painting of a small cafe in Paris, soft pastel tones, impressionistic style.”

This helps the AI ​​know if there is a bias towards realism or creativity.

4. Add context

These elements define the environment.

Example:

“A mountain cabin surrounded by pine trees, the early morning light, the misty air, the warm orange glow from the windows, the rich texture of the wood.”

AI understands lighting and mood very well. Explain them and you’ll instantly level realism.

5. Use negative cues or constraints

Tell the AI ​​what’s not included.

Example:

“Realistic portrait of a woman with freckles, natural skin texture – no extra fingers, no text, no distortion.”

This avoids common visual errors and keeps the result clean.

6. Don’t overload

Adding too many can confuse the model. This is a common problem that I see all the time.

Instead of cramming everything into one sentence, prioritize clarity.

Examples

bad:

“A girl, a sunset, flashing lights, cyberpunk city, cat, spaceship, cinema, future, neon, lens flare, smiling, realistic, realistic.”

better:

“A young woman in a cyberpunk city at sunset, soft neon reflection on her face, cinematic lighting, realistic skin texture.”

Fewer, stronger words work better than longer lists.

7. Repetition

Don’t stop after one try. AI image generation is trial and error.

Example workflow:

  1. Start easy: “A person walking in the rain under a street light, photorealistic.”
  2. adjust: “Add cinematic lighting, wet reflections, celestial skies to the road.”
  3. Finalize: “Medium close-up, realistic lighting, captured on a 35mm lens.”

Each step teaches the AI ​​that details matter most.

8. Use consistent vocabulary

If you want multiple images that look like part of the same set, keep your words consistent.

Example:

“Female astronaut in silver suit, single person, realistic face, neutral expression, cinematic lighting.”

Then vary the view:

  • “Standing on Mars”
  • “Inside a Spaceship”
  • “looking out the window”

Consistency in sentence = Consistency in results.

9. Use reference photos

Upload a photo or previous photo to help AI match, faces or colors.

Example:

“Use this reference image for facial structure and clothing. Create the same person sitting on a park bench at Golden Hour.”

This way you keep brand visuals or characters consistent across scenes.

10. Learn the rates of your device

Each model behaves differently.

Midjorney, Cydrium, Nano Banana, and GPT-4O interpret the signal in their own ways.

Example:

  • Midjourney likes stylistic details such as “dramatic, painterly, soft focus”.
  • Siderium handles realism perfectly with clear camera settings and lighting.
  • GPT-4O follows natural language. Talk to him like a human being.
    Knowing this saves time and gets you closer to your goal shape.

11. Keep ethics and ownership in mind

If you’re using AI-infused images commercially, make sure you have permission. Avoid directly referencing real people or copyrighted material.
Example:

“A fictional character inspired by 1980s fashion”
ok But
“A Portrait of Scarlett Johansson in Coach”
is not

Instant templates you can reuse

  • Photorealistic base: “(Location) captured with a (subject), (camera/lens), (lighting style), realistic texture, ultra-sharp detail.”

Example: “A cyclist riding the streets of Tokyo at night, captured with a 35mm lens, cinematic lighting, wet reflections.”

  • Artistic example: An example of “(text), (art style or artist name), (color palette), (medium).”

Example: “Illustration of a sleeping fox in a meadow, Studio Ghibli style, warm pastel tones, watercolor.”

  • Character Consistency:
    “One (character) wearing (clothes), same person in scenes: (scene 1), (scene 2), (scene 3), constant lighting and facial structure.”

Example: “A medieval knight in silver armor, the same face in every image – standing on a battlefield, sitting in a tavern, walking in a forest.”

  • Image Editing Tips:
    “Edit this image: replace (element) with (new element), keep lighting and perspective constant, realistic result.”

Example: “Edit this photo: change the red car to a black sports car, keep the reflections and shadows correct.”

A quick checklist before you create

Before creating an image using AI, just ask:

  • Is the topic clear and detailed?
  • Have you specified a style or medium (photo, painting, 3D, etc.)?
  • Did you describe the atmosphere, lighting and mood?
  • Did you specify what to exclude (negative sign)?
  • Is your vocabulary concise yet specific?
  • Are you using regular sentences for a series?
  • Do you plan to iterate based on the results?

And then the fire broke out!

This should give you the best results.

Happy creating
