Generate coloring books

Coloring is a popular pastime for children and adults as a way to destress and express creativity. While you can buy coloring books easily, you can also create coloring pages about whatever topic you’d like with QuillBot’s AI image generator.

Prompt: Create a coloring book page featuring a cozy cabin in an enchanted forest.

Tip
While generative AI has immense power when it comes to creating text and images, it can sometimes still make mistakes, especially when your prompts are not detailed enough.

For example, if the forest in this coloring book page isn’t as enchanted as you were expecting, you can refine your prompt. Try asking for more specific details (e.g., “include fantasy creatures” or “show trails of magic winding through the trees”).
