Let’s learn how to create banger AI Images
- T O G E T H E R -
AI art isn’t powered by your imagination.
It’s powered by your prompt.
You can have the craziest idea in your head…
But if your prompt isn’t clear enough, you’ll get back a soulless blob that looks nothing like you imagined.
➤ Let’s start with ONE Base Prompt
We’re gonna work our way up to one of the most aesthetically pleasing images ever for a girl in the forest.
☑ Close your eyes and image “a girl standing in a forest”
What did you see?
☑ Hold that thought
We’re gonna try to create an exact replica of the picture you saw in your head.
Let’s begin… Make sure to modify your prompts as you go based on the image you’re trying to create.
Base Prompt (meh): A girl standing in a forest
It’s not bad — it’s just… empty. And more than likely, none of the suggested images will match what you had imagined. Also, notice the generations are completely different from one another. The AI took creative freedom. It’s not your creativity.
➊ ADD DETAILS — What do you actually want in the scene?
More details: A girl standing in a foggy pine forest at sunrise
↳ This adds clarity: setting + time + atmosphere
Generations are more streamlined. You can see more similarities and it’s giving you results that are closer to what you want out of it.
➋ SET THE VIBE — How should it feel?
Additional Details: A girl standing in a foggy pine forest at sunrise, golden light filtering through the trees, dreamy and serene mood.
Notice the difference between the first one we generated versus these?
↳ Vibes create emotion → emotion creates impact → makes people stop scrolling to admire your image.
We can take it even further…
➌ PICK A STYLE — What should it look like?
Let’s choose: anime-inspired art style
New prompt:
An anime inspired image of a girl standing in a foggy pine forest at sunrise, golden light filtering through the trees, dreamy and serene mood
↳ Now it has aesthetic identity. You can choose from so many different styles!
💫 Some examples for you:
→ Ghibli-inspired (soft, whimsical, dreamlike)
→ Cyberpunk (futuristic, neon-lit, high contrast)
→ Baroque oil painting (dramatic lighting, rich textures, historical feel)
→ Low-poly 3D render (geometric, clean, stylized digital art)
→ Anime-style (sharp lines, expressive, bold colors)
➍ ADD CAMERA COMPOSITION
Example: wide-angle shot, centered subject, soft depth of field
Final upgraded prompt:
A girl standing in a foggy pine forest at sunrise, golden light filtering through the trees, dreamy and serene mood, anime-inspired, wide-angle shot, centered subject, soft depth of field
Notice the drastic difference between “A girl standing in a forest” to this one?
👏🏽 This is how you go from basic → pro-level.
This one was my favorite and closest to what I’d pictured:
Your Turn → Show Me What You Got

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake
In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.
One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.
Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.
Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

✦ Bonus Tips and Examples
To take your images to the next… PRO level
❥ Camera Angle:
Overhead = god’s eye view
Low angle = subject feels powerful
Close-up = emotional detail
❥ Lighting Tips:
“golden hour” = warm and cinematic
“neon-lit” = cyberpunk/modern
“harsh shadows” = dramatic + edgy
“backlit” = glowing outlines
❥ Color Palettes That Pop:
pastel tones → soft, nostalgic
vibrant neons → bold, futuristic
monochrome → moody + minimalist
❥ Experiment Slowly:
Change one variable at a time. Learn what changes what.
✦ TLDR
Think of it this way:
Your prompt is your paintbrush.
And every word you choose is a stroke.
✨ Don’t just describe what’s in the image.
🎬 Describe the feeling, style, and your perspective.
