Rough Sketches and Layout Prompts

Words can describe a picture, but they are often weak at spatial intent. “A person at a desk with room for a headline” leaves open where the person sits, which side should stay quiet, how much of the desk is visible, and whether the image still works when cropped. A rough sketch can answer those questions in seconds.

The point is not to turn every image prompt into a drawing assignment. A sketch can be ugly and still useful. It can be four boxes, a horizon line, a subject circle, and a shaded area for negative space. In Visual Prompt Lab terms, the sketch is a layout note. It helps you describe the shot more clearly, then review whether the generated result followed the intended composition.
