Prompt
A children's book illustration of three forest animals playing music together: a bear standing upright holding a tiny accordion, a rabbit beside it shaking a tambourine, and a fox on the other side playing a small guitar, all with joyful expressions, a woodland clearing with wildflowers and tall grass, soft morning light filtering through the canopy, watercolour texture with visible brush strokes, no text, no letters, no musical notation, no watermark

How to use this prompt
Three animals is the maximum for a readable ensemble. Add a fourth and the composition crowds into a parade that loses individual character. Name each animal with its instrument explicitly — "bear holding a tiny accordion" — because "animals playing music" alone gives you a jumble of species holding random objects. "Tiny" on the accordion is deliberate: an instrument scaled down to the bear's body sells the storybook absurdity that makes the image charming. Joyful expressions are the emotion cue; without them the animals look like they are working, not playing. Ban musical notation because the model draws staves and notes that garble into noise across the page.
Variations to try
- Swap the instruments for a drum, a flute and a xylophone, same three-animal ensemble
- Add a small bird conducting from a branch above, same woodland clearing and morning light
