Building a Pastel Character design workflow
The pastel direction works best for a character design when the prompt describes composition, lens or viewpoint, material behavior, lighting, and the intended emotional response instead of relying on the style label alone.
How to evaluate Pastel Character design results
Keep the subject and hierarchy specific to the character design. Generate controlled variations, compare edge detail and visual consistency, then refine the strongest pastel result rather than changing every prompt variable at once.
