# Negative Prompts

* **Purpose:** Tells the AI **what elements, styles, or qualities you want to *****avoid*** in the generated output. This helps refine the result and prevent common issues.
* **Content:** List things you don't want, such as unwanted objects, colors, artistic flaws, or styles.
* **Where to Use:**
  * Dedicated "Negative Prompt" fields within specific AI Model control panels. Not all models support or expose a negative prompt field.

**Tips for Effective Negative Prompts:**

1. **Focus on Common Issues:** Use terms to prevent low quality or deformities: `worst quality`, `low quality`, `normal quality`, `ugly`, `disfigured`, `deformed`, `blurry`, `bad anatomy`, `extra limbs`, `poorly drawn hands`.
2. **Exclude Unwanted Styles/Elements:** `text`, `signature`, `watermark`, `cartoonish`, `drawing`, `sketch`, `unrealistic`.
3. **Refine Based on Output:** If your generation includes unwanted elements (e.g., too many people, a specific color), add terms to the negative prompt to exclude them in the next generation (e.g., `crowd`, `blue color`).
