## Keeping your child recognisable

Bold outlines make your child’s features easy to keep identical panel to panel. That is the whole point of Once Books: you pick Comic storybook once and it is locked to the book, so your child is the same child from the cover to the last page.

## The Comic storybook prompt

Want the Comic storybook look yourself? Copy this style prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney or any image tool. Add it to any subject you like, nothing to edit.

```
Bright comic-style illustration, bold black ink outlines, flat cel-shaded bright colour, halftone dot shading, dynamic and cheerful.
```

Avoid: soft painterly, smooth gradients, airbrushed shading, realistic shading, gritty noir, muted, photorealistic.

That gets you the look on a single image. The hard part is keeping the *same child* recognisable across a whole book. That’s what Once Books does. [See how](https://www.oncebooks.com/how-it-works).
