Style prompt

Charles Dana Gibson + Edgar Degas + Paul Colin's Art Deco lithographic poster design, where Gibson's swelling and tapering pen contour creates unhesitating linework that leaves bare paper as highlight, Degas's stumped charcoal with visible pentimenti produces soft shading that holds light in the paper tooth, and Colin's crayon-lithograph planes infuse flat hard-edged tonal shapes with greasy grain. The fusion manifests as restated searching contours, smudged gradients against crisp silhouettes, and a restricted charcoal-on-cream range, transforming any subject through gestural poster-flat economy.

Model-neutral prompt

Same look, with artist names and copyrighted references removed — clears content filters.

Gilded Age American pen-and-ink illustration + French Impressionist-era charcoal drawing + 1920s Paris Art Deco lithographic poster design, where swelling and tapering pen contour creates unhesitating linework that leaves bare paper as highlight, stumped charcoal with visible pentimenti produces soft shading that holds light in the paper tooth, and crayon-lithograph planes infuse flat hard-edged tonal shapes with greasy grain.

Effect-only prompt

The same look with the recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Describes only what the style does to a surface.

Single confident strokes that swell and taper, leaving bare paper as the brightest value. Soft charcoal is rubbed into the paper tooth so light sits in the grain. Earlier contour attempts remain faintly visible beneath the final line. Smudged gradients meet crisp, flat, angular shapes carrying a greasy crayon grain. Values stay restricted to charcoal black on warm cream, with a gestural, graphic economy.
