    Make this prompt your own

    • Use a standing lineup with shorter family members toward the front so the skyline and capes do not hide anyone.
    • Ask for uncovered faces if masks make someone harder to recognize.
    • Keep the pet instruction only when you have selected a pet; the rooftop scene also works with people alone.
  2. Hand-drawn family of four and a dog in a green hillside meadow beneath a broad blue sky and soft white clouds2
    Explore Ghibli →

    A breezy countryside afternoon

    Create a Studio Ghibli style hand-drawn illustration of the selected people and pets in a rolling green countryside meadow under a wide watercolor sky. Wind through tall grass, softly painted cumulus clouds, Hayao Miyazaki aesthetic, and gentle cel shading.

    • Keep the meadow, soft clouds, and warm afternoon light as the main scene details; a simple setting leaves room for the family.
    • Choose clear reference photos that show hair, face shape, and usual accessories, which can help guide a simplified illustrated likeness.
    • For a closer portrait, ask for waist-up framing and less sky; for the pictured landscape feeling, keep the group on a grassy rise.

Cheerful expressions, warm daylight, no text.

    Make this prompt your own

    • Describe one shared activity, such as building a house, so the blocks and tools have a clear role in the scene.
    • Use distinct hairstyles and clothing colors to help tell family members apart when faces become square and simplified.
    • Expect a stylized likeness: asking for realistic skin and facial detail works against a consistent block-world look.
