The prompt

74 words · 527 characters

Create a wide 16:9 landscape image: Architect's concept sketch of a modern lakeside museum with a sweeping cantilevered roof, quick confident black fineliner lines, visible two-point perspective construction lines, loose grey and cool-blue marker tones for glass and shadows, tiny gestural people and trees for scale, hatching on the concrete surfaces, a few arrows and abstract annotation marks, trace paper texture, energetic design-process feel. Avoid photoreal render, readable text, messy blobs, color overload, watermark.

DALL·E and ChatGPT read full sentences best and have no flags, so the prompt is rewritten as one clear request with the format stated in words.

Tips to get more from it

  • Keep 'construction lines visible' so it reads as a sketch, not a render.
  • Use it as the 'before' slide next to a photoreal render in pitch decks.
  • Swap the building type to a house, bridge or pavilion.

Questions about this prompt

Which AI model is this sketch prompt written for?

It was written and tested for DALL·E 3, but the format buttons above rewrite it for Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Flux, Ideogram and Leonardo, so you can paste it into the tool you already use.

Can I change the aspect ratio or style?

Yes. The prompt is set for 16:9, which suits this composition. In Midjourney change the --ar value; in other apps pick the size in settings. Use the remix panel to swap the style, lighting, camera or mood without rewriting the whole prompt.

Is this prompt free to use for commercial work?

The prompt text is free to copy, edit and use. Whether you can sell the image depends on the terms of the AI model that generates it, so check your plan on that platform before using results commercially.
