Look — Paint by Numbers Template

Type your subject. Get a printable paint-by-numbers canvas — line art only, numbered regions, colour-key legend.

A craft template, not a finished painting. Type a subject — a golden retriever puppy, the Eiffel Tower at sunset, a bowl of fruit, a lighthouse on a cliff — pick a complexity level and a style, and the model produces a black-and-white paint-by-numbers canvas: line drawing of your subject divided into closed paintable regions, each labelled with a small black number, and a colour-key legend at the bottom listing every numbered colour with a swatch and its name. Print, paint.

Paint-by-numbers template — golden retriever puppy, standard 30 colours, realistic style

What you bring

What you get back

A printable canvas with two parts: the line-art portion at the top (your subject as outlined, fully closed regions, each numbered), and the colour-key legend at the bottom (every used number with a small swatch and its English colour name). No filled colour anywhere except in the legend swatches. Crisp black lines on pure white background, ready to print and paint.

A template, not a painting

The prompt explicitly forbids a colored or shaded painting — the output is intentionally a craft template. Pre-fill nothing; leave the regions white; let the user do the painting. Watermarks, page numbers, and signature blocks are also forbidden so the canvas prints clean.

Cost & timing

8 credits per run. Roughly 60-70 seconds. With your 20 signup credits you get two before topping up.

Inspired by @TheRoaringToady on X — the comprehensive paint-by-numbers prompt with adaptive colour count and a colour-key legend. The source case requires a reference image input; we adapted the framing to text-to-image with a subject described in text. The three-complexity × three-style enforcement, slot scaffolding, and FORBIDDEN-cue blocks (no colored painting, closed regions, legend-only swatches) are FluxGen's.
