Below you'll find some great examples of the different AI style sketches you can produce with ChatGPT AI image generation by using the highlighted bold prompt styles.

Prompt: create a gesture drawing style sketch of a white horse in a grassy field with a tree wide angle view in 1:1 ratio

1. Gesture Drawing
   Fast, loose sketches that capture the basic action, posture, and flow of a subject—often done in under 30 seconds to loosen your hand and “feel” the pose.
   

2. Contour Drawing
   Focuses on the outline and major edges of a form. By following the subject’s contours, you train your eye to see subtle shifts in shape.
   

3. Blind Contour Drawing
   You draw the subject in one continuous line without looking at your paper. Great for sharpening observational skills and hand-eye coordination.
   

4. Structural Drawing
   Breaks complex forms into simple geometric primitives (cubes, spheres, cylinders). Emphasizes underlying construction over surface detail.
   

5. Cross-Contour Drawing
   Uses lines that wrap around the form (like latitude/longitude on a globe) to describe volume and three-dimensionality.
   

6. Hatching
   Evenly spaced parallel lines to suggest value and texture. Direction, density, and length can be varied to model form.
   

7. Cross-Hatching
   Layers of hatching at different angles to build up darker tones and richer textures.
   

8. Stippling
   Uses dots (rather than lines) to create tone. Closer dots produce darker values, more spread-out dots yield lights.
   

9. Scribble Sketching
   Overlapping, energetic scribbles to block in masses of tone and texture quickly—ideal for rough studies.
   

10. Tonal/Shaded Sketching
    Smooth transitions of light and dark achieved by blending graphite, charcoal, or chalk to create realistic volume.
    

11. Chiaroscuro
    Dramatic, high-contrast interplay of light and shadow to give strong three-dimensional form (literally “light-dark” in Italian).
    

12. Silhouette Sketching
    Rendering only the solid outline (filled in as a dark shape) to emphasize overall form and composition without interior detail.
    

13. Perspective Sketching
    Incorporates one-, two-, or three-point perspective to accurately depict spatial depth and foreshortening.
    

14. Architectural/Technical Sketching
    Precise, measured drawings—often with straightedges or templates—used to convey scale, construction details, and orthographic views.
    

15. Negative Space Drawing
    Focus on the shapes around the subject to refine proportion and composition; draw “the air,” not the object.

16. Subtractive Drawing
    Start with a mid-tone ground and “pull” lights with an eraser (or white pencil), then push darks—great for luminous highlights.
