Free AI Art Generator | How to Use & Examples

AI art generators are transforming how we create and experience visual art. Whether you’re a designer, content creator, or someone just exploring your creative side, these tools make it easy to produce stunning digital images for use in diverse contexts.

QuillBot’s free AI art generator lets you quickly visualize new ideas, generate concept art, test out textures and lighting, get over creative blocks, and bring your wildest ideas to life.

How to create AI art

Follow these three ideas to start creating AI art.

1. Decide on a subject

Every great image starts with an idea. Before you type your first prompt, think about the subject you want the AI to generate. First decide if your subject will be:

• Figurative, meaning it represents the world realistically (e.g., a tree)
• Abstract, meaning it doesn’t objectively represent the world (e.g., swirls of color)
• A mix of both (e.g., a tree that blends into swirling forms)

Next, think about what your AI art will show. Do you want to create a portrait, a landscape, a fantasy scene, or a still life? Keep narrowing down your subject until you have a clear idea of what you want your AI image to show.

Clearly defining your subject helps the AI understand your intent and produce a more coherent result. For example, “a serene Nordic fjord at sunset” gives far better results than simply writing “nature.”

2. Think about the elements of art

The elements of art—line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space—are what define how an artwork looks and feels.

When planning your prompt, consider:

• Color: Do you want warm, cool, or contrasting tones? Specific colors?
• Composition: Should the subject be centered, off-balance, or symmetrical?
• Texture and style: Do you prefer realistic details, watercolor softness, or a digital painting finish?

Including these details gives the AI what it needs to create an image that reflects your artistic vision.

3. Write a detailed prompt

Your prompt tells the AI art generator what image you want. The more detailed it is, the better. Include as many details about your subject and the elements of art as you can.

Here’s a quick-reference checklist you can use when writing AI art prompts:

• Subject: what the image should depict (e.g., a Nordic fjord)
• Style: how it should be rendered (e.g., watercolor)
• Lighting: what type of light source to mimic (e.g., dramatic studio lighting)
• Colors: the hues and tones you want (e.g., dark blues)
• Mood: how the image should make people feel (e.g., serene)
• Composition: how the elements of the image are arranged (e.g., triangular)
• Perspective: the view the image is taken from (e.g., wide angle)

Using an AI art generator

Using QuillBot’s AI art generator is easy, especially once you’ve already prepared your prompt. To use the tool to experiment with AI art, follow these three steps:

• Write or paste your prompt into the “input” box.
• Select the style and aspect ratio you’d like the tool to use.
• Generate, review, and iterate.

When reviewing the AI output, analyze what parts of the image meet your expectations and which don’t. For those that don’t, rewrite your prompt, changing it or adding more detail as necessary. You can also play with negative prompts, which tell the tool what not to include.
