What you will get

A joyful, detailed storybook illustration of a busy Indian street market, with flower, fruit and brass stalls, a bicycle vendor, people bargaining, awnings overhead and sunlight coming through.

Why it works

A market feels busy when it is full of specific things, so the prompt names flower, fruit and brass stalls, a bicycle vendor, bargaining shoppers and awnings. Sunlight streaming through adds warmth and depth. A storybook illustration style keeps the crowd friendly and readable, and the palette blank lets you set the overall colour mood.

Common mistake

Signs have gibberish letters.

Fix: Ask for signs with simple pictures, or no writing, or one word you supply in the script you want.

Also watch for

Faces in the crowd are distorted. Ask for simple, friendly storybook faces, and fewer people in the foreground.
It mixes clothing from many places. Name a city or region, like an old Delhi lane or a Mysore market, so dress and goods match.

Try a variation: make a winter morning

Ask for a foggy winter morning with people in shawls, steam from a tea stall and soft low light.
