Final prompt In the Bingilator: "Sailor moon drawn in a an etch-a-sketch the drawing is done with only one continuous line. one line that does not stop. Bing, THE LINE MUST NOT STOP OR LIFT OFF AS THAT IS HOW AN ETCH-A-SKETCH WORKS!" So many tries, so many.

Couldn't get it to not do shading. Dall-e

Prompt:A simple black and white line drawing of 'Kilroy was here', featuring the iconic long-nosed, bald-headed character peeking over a wall with just the fingers of his hands visible over the edge. The drawing should capture the essence of this World War II graffiti symbol in a minimalist style, focusing on clean lines and clear depiction of the character's peeking gesture. The background should be plain to keep the attention on Kilroy.

My actual prompt: Make me a Kilroy was here black and white line drawing. Keep it simple

Ninja bunny.

Made with chat gpt 4.

Process: ask gpt 4 if it understands the kiss concept with reference to the Wikipedia page. After getting sure that gpt 4 is on the same page, ask gpt for pictures under the defined principle. I was not able to write "KISS" principle in the prompt as KISS seems to be censored.

Single line Kiss

Prompt: draw a picture of a kissing lips symbol in the style of Picasso's single line drawings. it should illustrate the KISS design principles (KISS = "Keep it simple, stupid"). the picture should follow the kiss principles itself and therefore should be very simple and straightforward.

💋 KISS 💋

Prompt: minimalist style of pouty puckered lips

I tried Chinese paintings of smiling face:

Prompt: A super-abstract condensed Chinese ink painting on beige rice paper about a toddler's smiling face, with empty margins around the face, symbolized, minimalist, (faint few strokes)1.5, (childish)1.5

Negative Prompt: (signature)1.5, (text)1.5, watermark, ugly, uncanny, border, frame, desk, wall, pen, red, photo, oil paint, large-area coloring

GUI: EasyDiffusion

Model: A SDXL 1.0 model merged myself, is complex in terms of source and weight

Other results:

Not really sure what we're supposed to here, so I went simple minimalist

Prompt : A red circle over a gradient background, a filled half-circle represents a smile Model RealVisXL V3.0

DALL-E: simple, peaceful, zen, quiet, water, wave

Keeping it KISS:

Created in Bing (I even kept the prompt minimalistic): a minimalist black and white photo of the band Kiss

Copilot

Prompt: create a sketchbook drawing of the great pyramid of giza. make it lightly drawn with black pencil only with short steady strokes of the pencil. make it look like a drawing on a notepad.

Niji Journey: midjourney V6 model

Prompt: A minimalist line drawing of a woman in a string bikini full body view, holding a tame pangolin, in the style of Aleksandra Gruszczyk

A couple Bonus

Went back and forth with Bing experimenting with different styles and landed with something I liked.

A pop art image done with lines only, depicting a serene moonlit night with auroras and permeating lines, with more surreal and minimalist style, more evocative than literal details

Runner ups

minimalistic representation of a face smiling in the style of monochrome minimalism --v 6.0

Not as simplistic as I wanted. I tried loads of prompts and my instructions for simplistic, crude drawings, even stick figure drawings were all ignored. Here we go anyway.

Here's the prompt that generated this particular image.

A charcoal cartoonish drawing of a tree holding a brush and a color palette in a forest. Next to the tree, there is an easel and a canvas with a portrait of Bob Ross.
