Limitations (Z Image Turbo Specific Notes)

⚠️ Requires descriptive prompting – specify materials (paper, pencil, charcoal) for best texture
⚠️ Very bright, saturated colors may conflict – use negative prompt or keep desaturated
⚠️ Extremely complex multi-figure scenes may reduce softness – focus on 1-2 subjects
⚠️ Turbo mode (4-6 steps) works well but may lose fine shading – increase steps to 15-25 for quality
⚠️ Avoid “photorealistic” in prompts – this is a drawing style
