Worked example — Magical realism with one impossible everyday detail
A commuter waters a small cloud growing from a terracotta pot on a kitchen windowsill. Magical-realism comic illustration, ordinary morning light, calm expression, simple room, no text.
The normal kitchen grounds the impossible cloud in daily routine. Use this direction as a draft brief; inspect the result before relying on fine details.
Before you publish
- Adding several magical events can weaken the scene’s focus.
- Cloud texture can merge with steam or window glare.
- Add captions after reviewing the image so the story remains readable.
Questions about this template
- Can I change the subject?
- Yes. Replace the example subject while retaining the visual choices described above; too many competing actions make the result harder to read.
- Is this a blank downloadable file?
- This is a creation preset, not a blank worksheet. Open it, describe a scene, and refine the generated draft.
- Will the prompt reproduce every detail exactly?
- No. The prompt gives direction. Layout, lettering, anatomy, and repeated character details can need correction.
