1
Define the brief
Start with the subject and action, then add the setting, composition, lighting, color direction, and mood. Keep the first instruction readable. For example, describe a person, place, camera viewpoint, and atmosphere before adding optional styling.
2
Generate and inspect
Read the output against your original brief instead of judging it only by first impression. Check whether the subject is clear, the framing supports the purpose, and important details such as pose, expression, clothing, or background are coherent.
3
Refine with one change
Choose the largest visible mismatch and revise that part first. Ask for a closer crop, a quieter background, a different light direction, or a clearer expression rather than rewriting every part of the prompt at once.
4
Save the useful direction
When a version is closer to the goal, record what worked in the wording. Reusing a successful structure helps you build a repeatable artflow ai workflow instead of starting from disconnected experiments.
