Crayon

The prompt

Transform ONLY the human subjects in the uploaded photograph into cute, hand-drawn crayon doodle characters. Everything that is not part of a person must remain the ORIGINAL, UNEDITED PHOTOGRAPH. ## FORMAT & COMPOSITION Vertical 9:16 aspect ratio. Preserve the original photograph's: - framing and crop - camera angle - lens perspective - composition - lighting and shadows - depth and spatial relationships - original photographic colors Do not recompose, zoom, rotate, reposition, or reinterpret the scene. ## STRICT BACKGROUND LOCK Treat the entire non-human portion of the image as a locked photographic layer. Walls, ceilings, floors, sky, landscape, buildings, streets, vehicles, car interiors, seats, furniture, graffiti, signs, written text, screens, water, ground, plants, architecture, reflections, shadows, and every other environmental object must remain exactly photographic. Do NOT redraw, repaint, stylize, simplify, outline, texture, or alter any part of the background. There must be: - no crayon marks outside the people - no doodle outlines around environmental objects - no paper texture applied to the photograph - no illustrated background - no global artistic filter The final image must visibly remain a REAL PHOTOGRAPH with only the people replaced by illustrations. ## PEOPLE — EXACT REPLACEMENT Replace each photographed person with a chibi-style hand-drawn crayon doodle version of that SAME person. The illustrated character must occupy exactly the same physical space as the original person. Preserve precisely: - position - scale - body orientation - head angle and tilt - pose - posture - arm positions - leg positions - hand placement - gestures - gaze direction - interaction with other people - interaction with surrounding objects Do NOT turn characters toward the camera unless they were already facing the camera. Do NOT invent a new pose. Maintain correct depth, perspective, occlusion, overlap, and physical contact with chairs, seats, walls, vehicles, floors, other people, and surrounding objects. ## CHIBI PROPORTIONS Stylize the people using charming, slightly exaggerated doodle proportions: - oversized rounded head, approximately one-third of total body height - compact simplified torso - short simplified arms and legs - small mitten-like hands - softly exaggerated but recognizable silhouette The character should be cute and playful without losing the person's recognizable identity. ## FACE Use an extremely simple hand-drawn doodle face. Features: - tiny solid-dot eyes OR short curved closed-eye lines - short thick crayon-dash eyebrows reflecting the original expression - tiny hooked nose line - small simple mouth matching the photographed expression - round scribbled rosy-pink blush circles on both cheeks Preserve the original facial expression and viewing angle. Only draw facial features that would actually be visible from the original camera angle. If hair, sunglasses, glasses, a hat, hand, or another object obscures part of the face, preserve that occlusion. If sunglasses completely cover the eyes, DO NOT draw eyes underneath or through the lenses. Avoid realistic facial anatomy. ## IDENTITY PRESERVATION Each doodle must remain clearly identifiable as the photographed person. Faithfully preserve: - hairstyle - hairline - hair length - hair volume - hair color - curls or waves - facial hair - clothing - garment colors - garment silhouettes - collars - sleeves - visible patterns - logos and printed graphics - footwear - jewelry - accessories Render hair using dense directional crayon scribbles. Render curly hair using loose overlapping loops and irregular scribbled curls. Render visible stubble, beard, moustache, or chest hair with light irregular crayon scribbles. ## ACCESSORIES Preserve every visible accessory and its exact placement, including: sunglasses, eyeglasses, necklaces, chains, pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, watches, headphones, earphones, cables, hats, bags, purses, backpacks, straps, belts and similar details. Simplify them into bold hand-drawn forms while keeping them recognizable. For sunglasses, use dense glossy-black crayon lenses with small white highlight streaks. Do not remove accessories and do not invent new ones. ## IMPORTANT — PHOTOGRAPHIC OBJECTS Objects that are separate from the person's body must remain photographic whenever possible. For example: - phones - cups - glasses - bottles - food - bags resting on furniture - chairs - tables - vehicle parts - surrounding props If a person is holding an object, preserve the original photographic object and draw the doodle hand naturally around it. Do not convert held objects into illustrations unless absolutely necessary for correct overlap. ## DRAWING STYLE The people should look genuinely hand-drawn using soft pastel and wax crayon on textured drawing paper. Use: - bold uneven black crayon outlines - visibly imperfect hand-drawn contours - dense directional crayon hatching - rich colors sampled from the original clothing and hair - irregular pigment coverage - visible crayon grain - small uncolored flecks inside filled areas - slightly wobbly shapes - loose scribbled details - simple crayon fold lines on clothing - organic variation in stroke pressure The drawing must NOT look digitally vectorized or smoothly rendered. The paper/grain texture belongs ONLY inside the illustrated people. It must never spread onto the photographic background. ## INTEGRATION The transformation should behave like a precise masked replacement: ORIGINAL PHOTO + CRAYON DOODLE PEOPLE ONLY The boundaries between doodle characters and photographic surroundings should be clean and spatially accurate. Preserve realistic photographic contact shadows and occlusion wherever appropriate so the doodle characters still feel physically positioned inside the original photograph. Do not create halos, painted borders, crayon spill, or illustrated patches around the characters. ## FINAL LOOK A striking mixed-media image in which the viewer immediately recognizes the original photograph. The environment remains completely realistic, photographic, and untouched, while ONLY the human subjects have been replaced by adorable handmade crayon doodle versions of themselves. The contrast between real photography and imperfect handmade crayon illustration should be obvious and intentional. ## NEGATIVE PROMPT Full-image illustration, illustrated background, doodled background, stylized environment, cartoon scenery, painted scenery, watercolor background, crayon background, paper texture across the photograph, global art filter, altered architecture, altered furniture, altered vehicles, changed text, changed signage, changed graffiti, modified objects, background reconstruction, background color shift, changed lighting, changed crop, changed perspective, realistic human face, photorealistic illustrated face, realistic anatomy, anime, manga, comic-book style, Pixar style, Disney style, 3D render, CGI, vector art, smooth digital shading, airbrush shading, thin clean vector lines, perfectly smooth contours, changed pose, changed head direction, rotated body, camera-facing pose when not present in the source, invented facial features, invented clothing, missing accessories, extra accessories, extra people, missing people, duplicated people, altered hairstyle, altered hair color, incorrect clothing colors, incorrect proportions, floating characters, incorrect overlap, crayon strokes outside human subjects, halos around characters, added objects.
