A blog related to original AI artworks. I make AI artworks using coined words and emoji as prompts.

Effectiveness of Using Patterns (Textures) as Negative Prompts

Using patterns, or repeated motifs, as negative prompts seems to result in more interesting images with a higher probability. By introducing repetition, it clarifies the “prohibitions” and enhances the style of the image. Initially, noticeable patterns such as waves and fabrics were explored.

Fabric Patterns

Regarding fabrics, I wrote about “drawing various fabric patterns as negative prompts.” Unique styles of paintings are generated from relatively simple repetitive patterns such as argyle and Marrakech, each triggered by specific words (the images below are just a few examples). However, one word does not necessarily lead to a single style.

Fabric patterns include both linear ones like argyle and checks, as well as curved ones like camouflage. When using linear patterns as negative prompts, paintings with many curves are produced, whereas using curved patterns results in paintings with many straight lines.

Railway Patterns

In “drawing surreal landscape paintings, decorative portraits, and abstract art using railway patterns as negative prompts,” I discussed images generated with railway patterns as negative prompts. Once again, intriguing images are created centering around repetitive patterns of railway tracks (the images below are just a few examples).

Railway patterns, being predominantly linear, lead to paintings with many curves when used as negative prompts.

Starfish Patterns

In “creating perspective paintings and vague human figures using starfish patterns as negative prompts,” I discussed images generated with starfish patterns as negative prompts. Due to the variety of gentle curves to pronounced curvatures in starfish patterns, paintings generated with them as negative prompts exhibit both linear and curved elements, creating a balanced composition.
