An illustration AI art style prompt drawing on Cartoon Modern and Character Animation. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.

The blend

The prompt combines 2 ingredients and gives each one a job:

Economical line work — The line work creates simplified silhouettes through minimal contour drawing.
Cel painting — The cel painting produces flat unmodulated color fields via opaque gouache on acetate.

The fusion manifests as bold outlines enclosing solid color shapes with sparse detail, transforming any subject through graphic reduction.

The prompt

Original

Economical line work + cel painting, where the line work creates simplified silhouettes through minimal contour drawing, and the cel painting produces flat unmodulated color fields via opaque gouache on acetate. The fusion manifests as bold outlines enclosing solid color shapes with sparse detail, transforming any subject through graphic reduction.

Effect only

The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.

Bold outlines are drawn first as clean continuous strokes. Each enclosed area is then filled with a single flat tone of opaque pigment, with no visible texture or gradient. Edges between colours stay hard and crisp. Internal detail is held to a spare minimum, so every subject simplifies into graphic shapes with strong contrast and no modulation.
