Tips for Using This Midjourney Prompt

 

1. Keep Actions Simple:

  • Choose actions that are easy to convey with minimal lines, like “jumping” or “waving.”

 

2. Ensure Bold Line Consistency:

  • Use bold, consistent line weight for a modern look that is characteristic of minimalist art.

 

3. Focus on Expressive Poses:

  • Highlight key features like the angle of arms or legs to convey movement or emotion.

 

4. Maintain High Contrast:

  • A white stick figure against a black background ensures the figure stands out and maintains visual interest.

 

5. Use Facial Expressions Sparingly:

  • A simple dot for an eye or a curved line for a mouth can be powerful in conveying expression.

 

6. Emphasize Simplicity:

  • Avoid adding excessive details; the charm lies in the minimalistic approach.

 

7. Play with Proportions:

  • Slightly exaggerated proportions in limbs or head size can add personality to the figure.

 

8. Utilize Soft Lighting Effects:

  • Ensure that soft lighting subtly enhances the figure’s features without overpowering the bold lines.
