Ghibli style

Soft, painterly, hand-drawn worlds with a warm, whimsical, storybook feel.

Shonen

Bold lines, dynamic poses, and vibrant color — the classic action-anime look.

Chibi

Cute, compact characters with big heads and big personality, perfect for stickers and avatars.

Cyberpunk

Neon lights, futuristic cities, and dramatic lighting for a high-tech edge.

Manga

Clean black-and-white ink and screentone shading, just like the printed page.

Webtoon

Modern manhwa-style line art with soft, clean coloring for a contemporary look.

Prompt tips for better anime art

A few small tweaks to your prompt make a big difference in the final result.

Describe the character clearly

Mention hair color and style, eye color, outfit, age, and expression so the AI nails the look.

Add anime-style keywords

Words like 'cel shading', 'detailed lineart', or a specific style help steer the aesthetic.

Set the scene and mood

Include the background, time of day, and lighting — 'sunset rooftop', 'neon alley', 'cherry blossoms'.

Keep it focused

Lead with the most important details. Shorter, well-ordered prompts often beat long, cluttered ones.
