Model-specific tips

各模型專屬技巧

Midjourney

Add --ar 4:5 --stylize 150 for portrait-style watercolor. Use --v 6 for delicate linework.

肖像式水彩可加上 --ar 4:5 --stylize 150;使用 --v 6 可獲得精緻線條。

Stable Diffusion / SDXL

Use watercolor checkpoints or LoRAs. Keep CFG 5–7 and add "paper grain texture" for authentic bleed edges.

使用水彩模型或 LoRA。CFG 保持在 5–7,並加入「paper grain texture」增強真實暈染邊緣。

Flux

Skip artist names — describe traits instead (soft washes, translucent layers, bleeding pigment edges). Flux respects long, prose-like prompts.

跳過藝術家名字 — 改用特徵描述(柔和暈染、半透明層次、暈開的顏料邊緣)。Flux 支援長篇散文式提示。

DALL·E 3

Drop artist names (they're filtered). Use "watercolor illustration" plus concrete visual traits like "soft washes" and "translucent color".

避開藝術家名字(會被過濾)。改用「watercolor illustration」加上具體視覺特徵如「soft washes」、「translucent color」。

Frequently asked questions

常見問題

What is a watercolor prompt for AI? / 什麼是 AI 水彩提示詞?

A watercolor prompt is a text description that tells an AI image generator to render the scene with soft washes, translucent layered color, delicate linework, and paper texture instead of hard photographic edges. It names the subject, setting, wash technique, and usually an artist reference.

水彩提示詞是一段告訴 AI 圖像生成器以柔和暈染、半透明層次色彩、精緻線條與紙張質感渲染場景的文字描述,而非硬邊的照片式效果。內容包含主題、場景、暈染技法與藝術家參考。

Which watercolor style is best for anime characters? / 哪種水彩風格最適合動漫角色?

Use Anime Watercolor with a Hayao Miyazaki or Makoto Shinkai reference for cozy, Ghibli-inspired characters, or Portrait Watercolor with WLOP for more expressive, romantic character art.

溫馨吉卜力風格用 Anime Watercolor 搭配 Hayao Miyazaki 或 Makoto Shinkai;更富表情與浪漫感的角色用 Portrait Watercolor 搭配 WLOP。

How do I get a watercolor look for city or urban scenes? / 如何營造城市場景的水彩感?

Describe wet-on-wet sky, reflective pavement, and rainy or dusk lighting. These wash-technique words push the model toward loose, bleeding urban watercolor instead of a crisp photographic render.

描述 wet-on-wet sky、reflective pavement 與雨天或黃昏光線。這些暈染技法詞彙能讓模型產生鬆散暈開的城市水彩,而非銳利的照片式渲染。

Do I need a negative prompt? / 需要反向提示詞嗎?

Yes — a short negative prompt blocks the common failure mode. Block photorealistic, 3d render, hard shadows, hard lines to keep the output looking like painted watercolor.

需要 — 簡短的反向提示可阻擋常見失敗模式。阻擋 photorealistic, 3d render, hard shadows, hard lines 以保持水彩畫感。

Which AI image generators work with these prompts? / 哪些 AI 圖像生成器適用?

The formulas work with Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, SDXL, Flux, DALL·E, and Nano Banana. When a model ignores artist names, describe the style traits instead ("soft washes, translucent layers, paper grain texture").

這些公式適用於 Midjourney、Stable Diffusion、SDXL、Flux、DALL·E 及 Nano Banana。若模型忽略藝術家名字,改用風格特徵描述(如「soft washes, translucent layers, paper grain texture」)。
