It draws subjects in clean black lines with no shading: single-weight drawings, continuous one-line art and coloring pages with closed shapes to fill. You name the subject, the line and the paper, and the model draws the outlines. On Nano Banana 2.1 an image costs 10 credits. You can start for free.
What makes the look
Models like to add gray, texture and color. Each cue below keeps the drawing to lines.
One even thickness all the way through. A fine pen for detailed scenes, a bold marker line for coloring pages.
No shading, no gray, no hatching. White space does the work that shadow would do in a painting.
For a coloring page, every area closes so it fills cleanly. Large simple shapes suit kids, dense patterns suit adults.
Continuous line art never lifts the pen. The line loops and overlaps where it doubles back, with lots of empty paper around it.
Attach a photo of yourself and ask for line art.
Each card shows the prompt, the model and what the image costs. Copy a prompt and swap in your own subject.
A single-weight line drawing of a developer's desk seen from a slight angle: a laptop, a mechanical keyboard, a mug of coffee with steam, a pair of headphones, a small succulent in a pot and a stack of notebooks. Black lines of one even thickness on pure white paper, no shading, no fills, no hatching, clean closed outlines. No text on any object.
A continuous one-line drawing of a cat curled up asleep on a cushion, drawn with a single unbroken black line that never lifts from the page, loops and overlaps where the line doubles back. Minimal, elegant, lots of white space on an off-white background, no shading, no fill.
A coloring page of a glass greenhouse full of plants: a curved iron-framed roof, hanging ferns, monstera leaves, cactus pots on wooden shelves, a watering can and a bench. Thick clean black outlines, every shape closed so it can be filled with color, large empty white areas, no shading, no gray, no hatching. Printable coloring book style on white paper, no text.
A fine pen line drawing of a narrow European street corner: a small café with an awning, round tables and chairs on the sidewalk, two bicycles leaning on a lamp post, flower boxes under shuttered windows and cobblestones in perspective. Thin black lines of one even weight on white, no shading, no color, crisp architectural linework. No readable signs.
A continuous line drawing of a hand holding a paper coffee cup, made from one flowing black line with no breaks, the line looping once around the cup sleeve and trailing off at the wrist. Minimal, plenty of white space, on a soft cream background, no shading, no fill, no text on the cup.
A kids' coloring page: a cat in a round-helmet space suit planting a flag on the moon, a small rocket behind it, craters, a ringed planet and stars in the sky. Bold even black outlines, simple large shapes, every area closed and left white for coloring, no shading, no gray, no hatching, no text, on white paper.
Say which kind you want: a fine single-weight pen drawing, one continuous line, or bold outlines for a coloring page.
Say no shading, no gray, no hatching and no fill. One of them alone is often not enough to stop the model adding tone.
Ask for white space around the subject, or a border and white paper for a page you plan to print.
Yes. Ask for a coloring page with bold even outlines, every shape closed, no shading or gray, on white paper. Simple large shapes suit kids. Dense patterns and small spaces suit adults. Generate at 2K or 4K for a sharp print.
The model adds tone unless you rule it out. Say no shading, no gray, no hatching and no fill, and ask for black lines of one even weight on white.
Ask for one unbroken line that never lifts from the page, with loops where it doubles back and lots of white space. Simple subjects such as a pet, a hand or a plant work best.
Yes. Attach the photo as a reference and ask for a line drawing or a coloring page of it. Nano Banana 2.1 reads up to 14 reference images.
