/sl-hand-rendered-explainer-illustration Create a 4:3 cutaway illustration for introductory urban ecology students showing where residential roof runoff goes: downspout water enters a shallow planted rain garden basin, some infiltrates the soil, and excess reaches a raised overflow outlet. Include no text or marks anywhere. Use the skill's hand-rendered Margin Study style.

Follow-up prompts

  • Make the infiltration route more obvious while keeping the overflow route separate.
  • Simplify the planting so the soil layers read clearly at textbook size.

FAQ

Will the illustration include labels?

The generated image is normally text-free. Add labels and citations afterward in the publishing layout, where spelling and placement can be controlled.

Can it illustrate a technical subject?

Yes, when you provide the mechanism and any necessary references. The image is checked against those constraints, but it is not a substitute for expert review.

What if the process has many steps?

Select the few stages needed to answer one visual question. A dense process may need multiple illustrations rather than one crowded image.
