+# Children's story illustration sketches
+
+Notes kept on git.jacs-home.eu about using [Raphael AI](https://raphael.app), a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.
+
+Writers drafting picture books can prototype page spreads with Raphael AI:
+
+## Tips
+
+1. Use soft watercolour or gouache style keywords for a classic look.
+2. Generate thumbnails for pacing, then commission or draw final art.
+3. Read the spread aloud with the image to test rhythm.
+4. Store each page's prompt next to its text in the manuscript.
+5. Keep a character sheet prompt and paste it into every page prompt.
+
+## Why Raphael AI
+
+- Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
+- Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
+- Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.
+
+## Responsible use
+
+Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
