How to prompt Krea 2

The rules that matter most

1. 1

   Choose one style and one medium

   One look per image: "1990s cel animation", "a macro photograph", "a ligne claire flat-color illustration". Mixing several muddies all of them.

2. 2

   Keep each subject with its own details

   Write each person or thing together with its attributes and its action, so the red coat stays on the right person.

3. 3

   Place things in plain words

   "Her left hand rests on the railing", "a dark rock in the lower left foreground". Grounded phrasing sets the pose and the layout.

4. 4

   Describe what is there

   At the default settings the Negative Prompt has no effect. Write "a bare white wall" or "an empty beach" instead of listing what to leave out.

5. 5

   Quote any words to show

   Put text in double quotes and keep it short: a sign, a label, a title.

Prompts to start from

• A short phrase

  immense rocket launch exhaust as seen from extremely close up

  Why it works: Krea 2 fills in a short idea with its own taste. Use one to explore before you write the full prompt.

• A phrase list

  3D rendered matte black designer toy figure, stylized round anthropomorphic shape, backward black baseball cap, oversized gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses, white traditional line-art tattoos of a tiger and a bird on the torso, black studded belt with a gold buckle, smooth vinyl texture, studio lighting, solid vibrant blue background, high contrast minimal composition

  Why it works: The medium leads, every attribute belongs to the one figure, and the light, background, and composition close the list.

• A rich paragraph

  A tiny russet-brown harvest mouse clings to a slender diagonal branch amid vibrant green lobed leaves and small round buds. The mouse has soft textured fur, glossy black eyes, a pink nose, fine whiskers, and delicate pink paws firmly gripping the wood. In this macro photograph, an extremely shallow depth of field sharply focuses on the animal's face. The deep green background dissolves into a smooth, creamy bokeh, lit by soft, diffused natural light that brings out the fur and foliage.

  Why it works: The subject and its action first, then its details, then the medium, the focus, and the light. A 3:2 aspect ratio suits it.

• Retro anime

  1990s vintage anime style cel animation, densely packed crowd of teenagers in summer uniforms, central boy with short black hair raising a clenched right fist, squinting one eye with a determined expression, white short-sleeve shirt and solid green necktie, surrounding students looking in various directions, girls in white sailor blouses with green striped collars, light blue skirts and trousers, tightly framed medium shot, flat shading, soft muted retro palette

  Why it works: One named style, a main figure whose details stay grouped with him, and a crowd described once as a group. Try 16:9.

• A short idea, expanded

  A minimalist flat-color illustration of a person wading through expansive shallow ocean waves beneath a pale peach sky. The dark-skinned figure, wearing an orange swim cap, a light blue top, and bright green shorts, steps carefully through knee-deep water. The ocean is muted mint green with thin black linework tracing the continuous ripples and gentle whitecaps, and soft pinkish-peach reflections echo the sky. A dark, jagged rock rests in the lower left foreground near a pale gray shoreline; the horizon holds a solid purplish-blue landmass and a stylized layered yellow and blue cloud. The high-angle wide perspective leaves vast negative space in the water, in a clean ligne claire style with a subtle paper texture.

  Why it works: Grown from "someone wading in the sea, flat illustration": the medium stays flat illustration, one framing and one palette are chosen, and every element has its place.
