Anime character reference sheet

A clean turnaround sheet with front, side and back views plus expressions, so your character stays consistent.

Anime-style character turnaround sheet of [character, e.g. a cheerful teen mechanic with orange hair and goggles]. The same character drawn four times side by side at the same scale: front view, three-quarter view, side view and back view, standing in a relaxed neutral pose, full body from head to toe. Above them, a row of four head close-ups showing happy, angry, surprised and sad expressions, plus a small row of color swatches for the hair, skin and outfit. Identical outfit, proportions and colors in every view. Clean, confident line art, flat cel shading, plain white background.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: text, scenery, watermarks.

Cute chibi version of [character, e.g. a cheerful teen mechanic with orange hair and goggles]: a big head about the same size as the body, large sparkling eyes and tiny hands, in a happy, bouncy pose holding [prop, e.g. a giant wrench]. Thick, clean outlines, bright flat colors with simple cel shading, and a thin white border around the whole figure like a die-cut sticker, centered on a plain white background.

Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square).
Avoid: text, scenery, watermarks.

Dynamic anime action illustration of [character, e.g. a cheerful teen mechanic with orange hair and goggles] [action, e.g. leaping between rooftops with a wrench in hand], seen from a dramatic low angle with strong foreshortening. Wind-swept hair and clothes, speed lines and drifting sparks add motion. Vivid cel shading with crisp highlights and a bold, saturated palette, set in [setting, e.g. a sunset city of rusty rooftops and water towers]. A cinematic composition, with the character filling most of the frame.

Aspect ratio: 2:3 (portrait).
Avoid: text, watermarks, blurry details.

Why it works

Drawing several views and expressions on one sheet, at the same scale, pushes the model to keep the design consistent, which is what makes a character reusable. Color swatches lock in the palette for later images. Clean line art, flat shading and a white background give you something easy to edit, trace, or use as a reference image in later prompts.

Anime city street at dusk

A detailed, atmospheric anime background painting of a quiet street at golden hour.

Anime background art of a quiet [place, e.g. hillside seaside town] street at dusk, seen from the middle of a gently sloping road. A warm orange sky fades into violet with a few pink clouds, and street lamps and shop lights are just flickering on. Overhead power lines cross the sky, a bicycle leans against a wall, and potted plants line the doorsteps. Long soft shadows, glowing windows and rich atmospheric light, in a painterly, hand-painted style. A nostalgic, calm mood, with the street empty of people. Wide cinematic composition with a clear vanishing point.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: people, text, watermarks.

Anime background art of a narrow city alley at night in steady rain. Neon lights in pink and cyan reflect in deep puddles, vending machines glow against wet walls, steam drifts from a vent, and in the distance a lone figure with a clear umbrella walks away from the viewer. Cool blue shadows with warm pockets of light, fine rain streaks, painterly hand-painted detail, and a moody, quiet atmosphere. Eye-level wide composition that leads the eye down the alley.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: text, watermarks, crowds.

Anime background art of an empty high-school classroom in the late afternoon. Golden sunlight streams through tall windows across rows of wooden desks, dust floats in the light beams, sheer curtains lift in a soft breeze, and the chalkboard at the front has been wiped almost clean. A warm, nostalgic palette with soft blue shadows, painterly hand-painted detail, and a quiet, wistful mood. Wide composition from the back corner of the room.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: people, text, watermarks.

Place

A blank left empty is sent as it is, and most tools will then use its example.

Open in

Why it works

Anime background art lives on light and small everyday details. Naming the time of day, the light sources and a few specific objects gives the model a scene to paint instead of a generic city. A clear vanishing point gives the picture depth, and keeping the street empty makes it usable as a wallpaper or as a backdrop for your own characters.

Cinematic character portrait

A moody portrait that looks like a still from a film and tells a story about the character.

Cinematic film still of [character, e.g. a tired night-shift nurse in her 30s] [moment, e.g. taking a quiet break on a hospital rooftop at dawn]. Medium close-up, with the character slightly off-center, looking past the camera. Lit by [light sources, e.g. pale sunrise on one side and a green exit sign on the other], with a strong warm-cool color contrast. Shallow depth of field with soft background bokeh, an anamorphic lens look, subtle film grain and natural skin texture. A quiet, emotional storytelling mood, like a frame from a feature film.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: text, watermarks, posed studio look.

Epic fantasy portrait of [character, e.g. an old sea captain who became a storm wizard], wearing [outfit, e.g. a weathered navy coat with brass buttons] and holding [object, e.g. a lantern crackling with lightning]. Three-quarter view from the chest up, against a dark, stormy sky. A dramatic rim light separates the figure from the background, and the glow from what they're holding lights the face from below. Rich textures in fabric, skin and metal, painterly realism and a heroic composition.

Aspect ratio: 2:3 (portrait).
Avoid: text, watermarks, cartoon style.

Sci-fi film still of [character, e.g. a young cargo pilot with a buzz cut and a scar on one cheek] inside [setting, e.g. a cramped, worn spaceship cockpit]. Close-up, with the face lit by glowing control screens in teal and amber, and small reflections in the eyes and on a scratched helmet visor resting nearby. A practical, lived-in design with real wear and grime, shallow depth of field, anamorphic lens flare and subtle film grain. A tense, focused mood.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: text, watermarks, clean plastic look.

Why it works

A portrait becomes a story when it has a moment, an emotion and a light source that belongs in the scene. Describing it as a film still (medium close-up, anamorphic lens look, warm-cool contrast, grain) gives the model a strong visual target without naming any film or director. Looking past the camera rather than into it makes it feel like a scene, not a photo shoot.

Clean studio product shot

A catalog-style product photo on a seamless white background, with soft, even studio light.

Professional e-commerce product photo of [product, e.g. a matte black insulated water bottle], standing upright in the center of a seamless pure white studio background. Three-quarter front view from slightly above eye level, with the product filling about 75% of the frame. A large softbox key light from the front left, soft fill from the right, and a thin rim light tracing the edges. A soft, natural contact shadow directly beneath it. Shot on a 100mm macro lens at f/11: sharp across the whole product, with accurate, true-to-life colors, crisp material texture and clean, controlled reflections.

Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square).
Avoid: props, text, watermarks, harsh shadows.

Dramatic advertising hero shot of [product, e.g. a matte black insulated water bottle] standing on a wet dark slate surface in front of a deep charcoal background. Low camera angle, with the product slightly right of center and open dark space on the left for a headline. A strong rim light from behind outlines its silhouette, a soft top light reveals its shape, and fine water droplets on the surface catch the light. Moody, high-contrast commercial photography, 85mm lens, the product tack-sharp and the background falling softly into darkness.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape).
Avoid: text, clutter, watermarks.

Playful product photo of [product, e.g. a matte black insulated water bottle] floating at a slight tilt above a solid [background color, e.g. sunny yellow] background, with a soft shadow on the ground below it. Bright, even, high-key studio lighting, saturated but accurate colors, and a crisp, graphic look. Centered composition with generous empty space around the product. Modern advertising style with sharp detail.

Aspect ratio: 4:5 (portrait).
Avoid: text, props, watermarks.

Product

A blank left empty is sent as it is, and most tools will then use its example.

Why it works

Real product photos come from a known studio setup, so the prompt describes one: a seamless background, key, fill and rim lights, and a macro lens at f/11 for front-to-back sharpness. Framing the product at about 75% of the image matches how store listings are usually shot. For a real listing, upload a photo of your actual product along with the prompt (most chat image tools accept one) so the result stays accurate.

Clean wordmark logo

A text-only logo with distinctive lettering, spelled exactly as you type it.

Wordmark logo that spells exactly "[brand name, e.g. Tidepool]" and no other words. Custom [lettering style, e.g. bold lowercase rounded geometric sans-serif] letters with tight, even spacing and one memorable custom detail: [custom detail, e.g. the two o's drawn as linked ripples]. Every letter crisp and correctly spelled. Solid [color, e.g. deep teal] on a plain white background, flat vector, perfectly centered with generous margins. Clean, professional brand identity design.

Why it works

Text is where image models slip, so the prompt quotes the exact spelling, says "no other words", and describes the lettering (weight, case, shape, spacing) instead of naming a font. One custom detail is what turns plain type into a logo. Tools known for lettering, such as Ideogram and ChatGPT, usually spell best. Check every letter, then have the winner redrawn as a vector.

Die-cut sticker design

A cute, bold sticker design with a white cut border, ready to mock up or send to print.

Die-cut sticker of [subject, e.g. a sleepy cat curled up inside a coffee cup], cute and expressive, with a clear, simple silhouette. Bold, even black outlines, flat vibrant colors from a small palette, and simple cel shading with a single highlight. A thick, even white border follows the outer shape of the whole design, like a cut vinyl sticker. Centered on a plain light gray background with space around it. Clean vector illustration style without tiny details, so it still reads at a few centimeters wide.

Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square).
Avoid: text, background scenery, drop shadows, watermarks.

Die-cut sticker of [subject, e.g. a sleepy cat curled up inside a coffee cup] with the exact words "[short phrase, e.g. Not Today]" in bold, rounded, hand-drawn letters curving around the top of the design.

Why it works

Stickers are seen small, so the prompt asks for bold outlines, flat colors, a simple silhouette and no tiny details. The thick white border is what makes it look like a real die-cut sticker, and the plain gray background keeps that border visible and the shape easy to cut out. For printing, upscale the image or have it vectorized first.

Lifestyle scene with your product

Your product in a believable real-life setting, lit and styled like a magazine shoot.

Lifestyle photo of [product, e.g. a ceramic pour-over coffee set] in use on [setting, e.g. a sunlit kitchen counter on a quiet morning], with a person's hands partly in frame, naturally using it. Soft window light from the left, warm natural tones and gentle shadows. The product sits on the left third of the frame in sharp focus, while the background falls into a soft blur. A few fitting details bring the scene to life: [props, e.g. a linen towel, a bag of coffee beans, a small plant]. Candid, editorial magazine feel, 35mm lens at f/2.8, realistic textures.

Avoid: text, watermarks, clutter.

Outdoor lifestyle photo of [product, e.g. a ceramic pour-over coffee set] on [location, e.g. a wooden camping table beside a lake] at golden hour.

Why it works

Lifestyle shots sell by showing the product in someone's life, so the prompt names a setting, a light source and a few props instead of leaving the scene to chance. Hands in frame add a human touch without a face to get wrong. Placing the product on a third, with a shallow depth of field, keeps the eye on it while the background tells the story.

Minimal geometric logo mark

A bold, simple logo symbol that still reads at small sizes, as a starting point for your brand.

Minimal flat vector logo symbol for a [what the business does, e.g. swimming school for kids]. A single wordless mark that cleverly combines [first idea, e.g. a wave] and [second idea, e.g. a smiling face], built from simple geometric shapes with a consistent stroke weight and smart use of negative space. Bold, balanced and still recognizable at a tiny size, like an app icon. Solid [color, e.g. deep teal] on a plain white background, perfectly centered with generous empty space around it.

A blank left empty is sent as it is, and most tools will then use its example.

Why it works

Image models like to add lettering, gradients and mockups to logos, so the prompt asks for a wordless, flat, one-color symbol and lists those extras to avoid. It leaves the brand name out on purpose, because a name in a symbol prompt usually turns into misspelled text. Merging two ideas gives you a concept rather than a random shape. Treat the results as sketches, and have the one you pick redrawn as a clean vector.

Professional headshot portrait

A polished, realistic studio headshot of a person you describe, or of you from your own photo.

Why it works

Headshot photography has a well-known recipe (an 85mm lens, a key light at 45 degrees, catchlights in the eyes, eyes a third of the way down), and describing it gets a realistic, flattering result. "Natural skin texture with visible pores" steers away from the plastic look AI portraits often have. Use invented people for mockups and characters, and the "From your photo" version for yourself.

Why it works

Screen-printed posters were defined by flat shapes and only a few ink colors, so limiting the palette and naming the print texture (paper grain, slight misregistration) gets the look right. A single focal point with dramatic perspective gives the poster its punch. Leaving a clean band of sky lets you add your own title in an editor, which is more reliable than generated lettering; the "With title" version is for tools that spell well.
