Recommended Parameters

ParameterValueWhy
VISUAL STYLEStudio Ghibli watercolor, traditional watercolor, loose watercolor sketchThese values directly influence the aesthetic of the watercolor, from the crispness of lines to the blend of colors. Specific styles like 'Studio Ghibli watercolor' evoke a very distinct, beloved look, which is excellent for character design.
FORMATDigital watercolor illustration, watercolor concept art, children's book illustrationSpecifying the format helps Midjourney understand the overall presentation and purpose of the image, guiding it to render details and compositions appropriate for that medium. For character design, this is crucial for the final output's usability.
ASPECT RATIO7:4 or 9:16For character design, common aspect ratios like 7:4 (wide portrait) or 9:16 (tall portrait) are often ideal. They allow for full-body representation while providing enough space around the character to convey environment or mood without being too cramped.
TAGSwhimsical, ethereal, detailed, expressive, vibrant, soft, intricateUsing descriptive tags helps to fine-tune the emotional and stylistic qualities of your watercolor character. These adjectives guide Midjourney to add subtle nuances that make the character truly unique and aligned with your vision.

Pro Tips

  • 1Experiment with different 'VISUAL STYLE' modifiers like 'loose watercolor,' 'detailed watercolor,' or 'ink wash watercolor' to achieve varied artistic expressions for your characters.
  • 2Combine 'COLOR' descriptions with mood adjectives (e.g., 'muted pastels, melancholic' or 'vibrant primaries, energetic') to infuse your characters with specific emotional palettes.
  • 3Utilize 'COMPOSITION' parameters such as 'dynamic pose,' 'heroic stance,' or 'candid expression' to give your characters personality and narrative depth within the frame.
  • 4Specify 'LENS SIZE' (e.g., 'wide-angle,' 'telephoto,' 'macro') to control the character's proximity and the level of detail in their features, enhancing the intended focus.
  • 5Incorporate 'ENVIRONMENT' and 'LOCATION TYPE' to provide context for your character, even if it's just a subtle background wash, as this often helps define their story and world.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-prompting the 'watercolor' aspect: Sometimes, simply adding 'watercolor' is enough; too many redundant descriptors can confuse the AI.
Neglecting 'FRAME SIZE' and 'COMPOSITION': Not defining these can lead to characters being cut off or poorly positioned, especially for full-body designs.
Ignoring 'COLOR' and 'LIGHTING': Without specific color palettes and lighting types, watercolor renders can appear flat or lack the desired mood and depth.
