For image generation that requires transforming a style of image into another, style transfer prompts are used.

A style transfer prompt that focuses on the artistic technique (the “syntax” of the image) rather than the semantic content (the “man”).

Prompt for generating

  1. Upload a image
  2. Prompt: if i have to share a prompt for generation of this image for google nano banana or any other AI, what should the verbose prompt be to generate a image like this given another photo to have this shade or use another image as base to generate a image like this. I want a style transfer prompt that focuses on the artistic technique (the “syntax” of the image) rather than the semantic content

SAMPLE:

Here is a verbose, highly descriptive prompt designed to apply this exact artistic shading and texture to any photo you upload.

The “Master Pattern” Prompt

You can copy and paste this. Just ensure you replace the bracketed [DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PHOTO] with a simple description of the image you are uploading (e.g., “a golden retriever dog,” “a classic car,” “a woman looking sideways”).

“A high-contrast mixed-media portrait of [DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PHOTO], rendered in an expressive abstract watercolor and ink-splatter style. The subject transitions from a realistic sketch into a dynamic dispersion of paint. The upper areas feature cool tones of deep violet, indigo, and teal, blending into warm tones of burnt orange, ochre, and brown in the lower areas. The edges of the subject dissolve into loose ink drips, grunge textures, geometric halftone dots, and fractal paint splashes. Clean white background. Vector art aesthetic with sharp details and fluid artistic distortions.”


How to use this with AI (Image-to-Image)

Since you want to apply this to a specific photo you possess, you will likely be using an “Image-to-Image” (Img2Img) or “Style Reference” feature.

  1. Upload your photo as the reference/source.

  2. Set the “Image Strength” or “Denoising Strength”:

    • Low Strength (0.3 - 0.4): Will keep your photo looking exactly like the original, just with a light filter.

    • Medium Strength (0.5 - 0.7): (Recommended) This allows the AI to change the texture to watercolor/ink while keeping the identity of your subject recognizable.

  3. Paste the text prompt above.

Key “Ingredients” used in this prompt

If you want to tweak the result, here are the keywords that control the specific look of the sample image you uploaded:

  • “Dispersion Effect”: This creates the look where the back of the head/body is breaking apart into particles.

  • “Halftone Dots”: If you look closely at the neck of the man in your image, there are little dots. This adds a “comic book” or “pop art” texture.

  • “Cool to Warm Gradient”: The image uses purple/blue for the “mind” (top) and orange/brown for the “body” (bottom).

  • “White Space”: Essential to make the colors pop.
