Simple flat sketch of a green frog on a grey road, with an orange hill, dark red sky, and yellow sun — Basic drawing representing the subject, colour and composition of the elements of the prompt.

Once the drawing is complete and saved, simply run a remix on it using a suitable prompt to describe what you want in the final image. **Prompt:** *Illustration of a frog on a country road at sunset.*\ **Model**: Ideogram version 2.0\ **Remixed image weight** of 45/100\ **Magic Prompt**: Off\ **Style**: General\ **Rendering**: Default Result:

Polished illustration of a spotted green frog sitting on a country road at sunset, with fences and fields on either side
