Using vague descriptions

Forgetting to specify lighting

✅ Solution: Add lighting details like 'golden hour lighting', 'soft moonlight', or 'dramatic studio lighting'

Not mentioning art style

✅ Solution: Include styles like 'oil painting', 'digital art', 'watercolor', or 'pencil sketch'

Overcomplicating prompts
