Recommended Parameters

ParameterValueWhy
VISUAL STYLERealistic pencil sketch, Stylized pencil sketch, Concept art pencil drawingThese values directly instruct Midjourney to render the image with the distinct characteristics of a pencil sketch, including line work, shading, and texture, which is crucial for a pencil sketch cityscape.
COLORGraphite, Charcoal, Sepia tones, Monochromatic, Black and whiteTo maintain the authenticity of a pencil sketch, limiting the color palette to shades of grey, black, or warm sepia will enhance the hand-drawn feel. Avoid vibrant colors unless specifically aiming for a colored pencil effect.
FORMATDigital illustration, Architectural drawing, Sketchbook page, Concept art, Hand-drawn blueprintSpecifying the format helps Midjourney understand the context and presentation of the sketch, influencing elements like borders, paper texture, or technical drawing precision.
TAGSHand-drawn, intricate, textured, line art, cross-hatching, detailed, gestural, expressiveUsing specific tags related to drawing techniques reinforces the desired artistic style, guiding Midjourney to incorporate authentic sketch elements like varying line weights and shading methods.

Pro Tips

  • 1Experiment with different 'VISUAL STYLE' descriptors like 'loose pencil sketch' vs. 'detailed technical sketch' to control the level of precision and artistic looseness.
  • 2Utilize 'COLOR' modifiers like 'graphite on textured paper' or 'charcoal on toned paper' to add realism to the medium and surface.
  • 3Vary 'TIME PERIOD' and 'ENVIRONMENT' to create diverse cityscapes, from ancient ruins to futuristic metropolises, all rendered in pencil sketch style.
  • 4Play with 'LIGHTING' and 'LIGHTING TYPE' to influence how shadows are rendered in your sketch, mimicking different shading techniques like chiaroscuro or soft blending.
  • 5Incorporate specific 'COMPOSITION' terms like 'worm's-eye view' or 'bird's-eye view' to get unique perspectives on your cityscape sketches.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not specifying 'pencil sketch' or similar keywords early in the prompt, leading to photorealistic or painted outputs.
Using overly vibrant or unnatural colors, which detracts from the traditional pencil sketch aesthetic.
Forgetting to include details about line work or texture, resulting in a flat or overly smooth image that lacks the characteristic feel of a drawing.
Over-complicating the subject with too many conflicting elements, which can make the AI struggle to maintain the consistent sketch style.
