Description
Example
Vector styles
Flat illustration
Uses clean, modern shapes, solid colors, minimal detail, and little or no shading
Line art
Focuses on crisp, consistent lines, minimal fills, and strong use of negative space
Comic book
Captures the bold outlines, vibrant colors, and dynamic look of graphic novels
Icon
Creates simple, scalable graphics with clean shapes and solid colors, ideal for symbols, clipart, and interface elements
Hand drawn
Mimics a handcrafted look with sketch-like lines and natural shapes
Kawaii pastel
Combines rounded shapes, soft pastel colors, and simple facial features for a cute, playful look
Bitmap styles
Photorealistic
Produces images with lifelike detail, realistic textures, and natural lighting
Line art
Creates images with a focus on contours and outlines rather than shading or color. Details are simplified with minimal texture or gradients. Objects, characters, or scenes are defined by precise lines, with strong contrast between lines and background. Line thickness may be uniform for a clean look or varied for dynamic emphasis.
Watercolor
Mimics traditional watercolor with soft transitions between colors, gently blended edges, and lightly defined forms. Pastel tones and layered washes create a delicate, airy, and dreamy feel.
Illustration
Creates stylized images with clear outlines and simplified details. Shapes, proportions, and colors may be exaggerated or toned down for visual impact. Colors typically appear as flat fills or layered shading rather than realistic gradients. This style can mimic traditional media like ink, pencil, or paint, or present a clean digital look.
3D render
Produces images with depth, perspective, and realistic lighting as in 3D graphics
Pop art
Produces vivid, high-contrast images with bold contours and vibrant colors like bright reds, yellows, blues, and greens. This style often mimics comic-book aesthetics, poster art, and mid-century pop culture, using flat or limited-tone colors to create a striking, modern look.
