Classic Illustrated Character

Color:

• [setting] made of extremely simple shapes with no detail. Use basic flat neutral color blobs and abstract forms to loosely suggest objects. Avoid outlines, shading, gradients, and any realistic features. Everything should appear calm, soft, and stylized—like a paper cutout or children’s book background.

  [setting] made entirely of flat, abstract shapes with no outlines, no shadows, and no gradients. Use simple, soft-edged forms in solid colors to loosely suggest objects. Avoid any detail or realism. The style should feel calm, minimal, and intentionally abstract—like paper cutouts or simplified scene blocks.

Monochromatic:

• [setting] made entirely of flat, abstract shapes in a single light gray color. Use soft, blobby forms with no shading, no gradients, no lighting effects, and no outlines. Avoid realistic rendering entirely. All objects should be simple, suggestive silhouettes—like flat paper cutouts—with no detail or depth.
