1. Describe the picture
In the Studio, open the Picture tab. In What the picture should show, write:
A cosy fantasy tavern at night, seen from the street, warm light in the windows, snow on the roof, a wooden sign reading "The Black Cat" above the door, digital painting, wide shot
Choose the Format: Square (1024×1024), Portrait (1024×1536) or Landscape (1536×1024). A street is wide: choose Landscape.
Click Make the picture. The button says Drawing… for about ten seconds, a little longer in portrait or landscape. The picture appears under the form, and Download saves the PNG.
When we tried this description, the sign above the door said “The Black Cat”, spelled right.
2. What to write
A good description says five things:
| What to say | For example | |
|---|---|---|
| Subject | what is in the picture, and what it is doing | a red fox curled up asleep |
| Setting | where and when | in an autumn forest, at dawn |
| Style | how it is drawn | watercolour, pixel art, low-poly 3D, flat vector illustration, photo, digital painting |
| Light | where the light comes from, and its colour | soft morning light, neon in the rain, candlelight |
| Framing | how close, and from where | close-up, wide shot, seen from above, side view |
Put together: A red fox curled up asleep in an autumn forest at dawn, watercolour, soft morning light, close-up.
Descriptions work in Italian too. Short is fine, vague is not: “a fox” gives you a fox, but not yours.
3. Words inside the picture
For a sign, a title or a label, write the description in English and put the exact words in quotes. The words themselves can be Italian:
A wooden sign reading "Benvenuti" at the entrance of a medieval village
In a description written in Italian, the words in the picture often come out misspelled.
Good to know
- Every click is a new picture, even with the same words. The Studio shows the last six pictures of your visit; they disappear when you leave the page, and after two hours at the latest. Download those you want to keep.
- What is not drawn: real people, nudity, blood, hate, famous characters and brands. Fantasy and game scenes with stylised action are fine: knights, monsters, space battles. A refused description gets The request goes against the content rules, with the reason. A picture can also be blocked after it is made: then the Studio says it was not delivered and costs nothing.
- A picture costs 0.01 credits, only if you get it.
- The PNG says it was made by AI, in its metadata, and the Studio says so under every picture. When you publish it, say so in words too.
Exercise
- Write “a fox”, then a description with all five parts. Compare the two pictures.
- Keep the subject and change only the style: watercolour, pixel art, low-poly 3D.
- Make a poster for your class project, with its title in quotes.
- Write a description in Italian with a sign in it, then the same in English with the words in quotes. Which sign is spelled right?
