Blackie Line-Art Article Illustrations

The problem: article visuals often become PPT

Chinese technical posts and opinion pieces often need images, but the default output tends to look like an infographic: too many elements, too much color, stiff labels, or boxes filled with paragraph keywords. Such images may not explain better and can flatten the article's tone and judgment.

How it works: from cognitive anchors to Blackie line art

This skill treats illustration as explanation, not decoration. It first reads the provided article or material, then extracts visual anchors such as core judgments, cognitive turns, input-output loops, and before-after contrasts, and decides which sections deserve images and which should remain text-only.

If the request is “analyze where to add images,” it returns a shot list: for each image, it specifies placement, theme, structure type, Blackie’s action, and suggested Chinese annotations. It usually targets 4-8 images, or 1-3 for short posts, avoiding the tendency to turn an article into a picture book.

If the request is direct generation, it uses the built-in image_gen to create 16:9 horizontal images one by one. Each prompt should emphasize a pure white background, black hand-drawn line art, sparse red/orange/blue handwritten annotations, and generous whitespace, with the default IP Blackie performing the core action rather than standing there as decoration. After generation, it checks common issues such as cluttered composition, wrong or excessive Chinese text, or PPT-like labels like “common pitfalls” or “flowchart” in the top-left corner.

Boundaries

It fits Chinese blogs, technical writing, product posts, opinion pieces, and scenes that benefit from quirky hand-drawn explanation. It is not intended for strict system architecture diagrams, commercial brand illustration, multi-image collages, or cute cartoon styles. It should also not copy existing example compositions unless explicitly requested.
