What should I prepare before starting?

Start with a description of the subject, composition, and visual style. Nano Banana 2 also accepts reference images for guidance; identify which details matter before generating.

How can I keep characters consistent across a book?

Approve references and a short style brief, reuse them for every image, and compare the illustrations as a sequence. Expect to correct details rather than assuming generation locks the design.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Shape the creative brief

Narrative moment

Choose the action or emotion the illustration should communicate.

Character references

Repeat identifying features, costume, and scale across scenes.

Page composition

Reserve space for text and consider the gutter or crop when relevant.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

Illustrate an original story passage about an adult lighthouse keeper discovering a tiny garden on a rooftop. Warm gouache style, blue coat, clear focal action, space in the upper-left area for text, no lettering.

Another approach

Using my approved character reference, create the next illustration of the same keeper watering the rooftop plants at dawn. Preserve the coat, hair, proportions, and muted coastal palette, with a calm page composition.

Finishing the result

Add final typography and page layout separately. Generated illustrations may vary across scenes, so review them together before preparing a book for print or digital release.
