AI art is only as good as your prompt. Your imagination doesn’t power it. The words you use do. You don’t need to be a professional artist to get incredible results. You just need to prompt smarter.

Here are 5 quick tips to help you level up your AI image prompts — whether you're using MidJourney, Grok, Gemini, DALL-E or ANY other image generator:

Be as descriptive as possible (while being concise - if your prompt is all over the place, you’ll confuse the AI - take it step by step)

Start with a clear scenario:

✘ Bad: "a forest scene"
^{Notice how the AI couldn’t figure out what you want so it gave you “random” scenes}

✔ Good: "a foggy pine forest at sunrise with golden light filtering through the trees"
^{Notice how specific the output is relative to your prompt}

Words like "moody," "dramatic," "neon-lit," "80s aesthetic," or "ultra detailed" do a ton of heavy lifting. The more sensory, the better 👩🏻‍🎨

Add details like:

This helps the AI know how you want it to look — not just what it should show.

Do you want your image to feel cinematic? Dreamy? Post-apocalyptic? Tell the AI!

Adding a vibe gives your prompt (and image) emotion — which makes a huge difference in visual tone (+ helps in captivating your viewers)

Example: "a lone astronaut on Mars, cinematic lighting, dramatic shadows, hopeful mood"

Mention camera angles, distance or layout if it matters:

Think like a photographer or director.

Think → Where should the viewer be looking from?

Your first prompt might suck. That’s normal.

Try adjusting one variable at a time:

→ Change the color scheme
→ Switch the lighting style
→ Add or remove background details

Each edit teaches you something. That’s how you go from generic to jaw-dropping.

So next time you open Grok or DALL-E or MidJourney, think like a director.
→ Set the scene
→ Pick the style
→ Add the vibe.

Let the AI do the rest.

See you on the next one 👋🏽
