Okay, so you now understand how to send a basic prompt to the bot and get a response. You also learned how to curate that response by asking for redos, variations, and upscales.

That was scratching the surface. Let’s see what we can really do with Midjourney.

This is a low-level prompt.

/imagine a giant panda above manhattan

If you want to change something about the prompt once you get results, it’s hard to be descriptive.

Here’s a better version of that prompt.

/imagine **a giant fluffy panda floating in the sky far above manhattan, animal, symmetrical eyes, fully body, ultra detailed, high definition, photorealism, sharp, shot on DSLR, 8k, super resolution, unreal engine, --ar 3:2**

See how there’s so much more to change and describe?

You want to be specific when you’re prompting.

<aside> 🤖 Now: Try the above two prompts with a different animal.
