There are times when I've wanted an image of a location - such as Paris, London, etc - but didn't want to use a photo, so I've tried putting "pen & ink illustration" or "watercolor painting" in the prompt to achieve different effects.
I've used DALL-E and ImageFX and have been impressed with some of the results, but the truth is, I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm just playing around at this point, which is fun, and I'm learning, but I would appreciate guidance / suggestions that would help me improve the results.

Thanks! Unsplash is my personal favorite 📷
I use Unsplash also a lot, but only when I can’t find one my own photos.
Thank you, Lizzie
