Prompt

3,696 charactersOpen Astorie studio ↗
Create a single vertical 3:4 PHOTO + HAND-DRAWN ILLUSTRATION artwork based ONLY on the uploaded photograph.

Use the uploaded photograph as the ONLY visual reference. Analyze the photograph independently and reproduce the exact subject, pose, expression, clothing, hairstyle, accessories, objects, proportions, and overall moment in the illustration. Do not introduce elements from any previous image or reference.

TOP — ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH

Use approximately the upper 50% of the canvas for the original photograph.

Preserve the photograph faithfully and naturally:
- Keep the original subject exactly recognizable.
- Preserve the face, expression, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, pose, body proportions, and visible objects.
- Preserve the original environment and composition.
- Do not retouch, beautify, replace, or redesign the subject.
- Keep the photograph realistic with its original lighting, colors, textures, and details.

BOTTOM — HAND-DRAWN ILLUSTRATION

Use approximately the lower 50% for a charming handmade illustration of the SAME photograph.

Transform the photographic moment into a delicate children's storybook-style hand-drawn artwork.

Illustration style:
- Soft watercolor and colored-pencil texture
- Gentle pencil/ink outlines
- Slightly imperfect handmade strokes
- Warm, tactile off-white textured paper
- Soft natural shading
- Subtle watercolor washes
- Cute, expressive, wholesome appearance
- Delicate handcrafted imperfections
- No glossy digital-rendered appearance
- No photorealism
- No 3D CGI
- No anime or cartoon franchise style

Most importantly, accurately preserve the subject from the photograph:
- Same pose and body position
- Same facial expression
- Same hairstyle
- Same clothing and clothing patterns
- Same shoes/accessories
- Same proportions
- Same distinctive visual details
- Same overall action or mood

Simplify the background substantially. Do not recreate every background detail. Keep only a very subtle suggestion of the original environment, allowing the illustrated subject to remain the main focus.

Place the illustrated subject slightly smaller than the photograph's subject, surrounded by generous negative space.

MINIMAL DECORATIVE DETAILS

Add a few tiny hand-drawn decorative marks around the illustration, such as:
- small hearts
- simple motion lines
- tiny doodles
- subtle stars or flowers

Keep these decorations sparse and tasteful.

Add a small handwritten caption near the illustration, such as:

"little happy girl ♡"

The caption should look naturally handwritten with a casual brown/gray pencil or ink texture.

If the uploaded subject is not a girl, automatically adapt the wording appropriately or omit the caption entirely.

OVERALL AESTHETIC

The final artwork should feel like a precious memory transformed into a page from a handmade children's picture book.

Composition:
- Vertical 3:4
- Clean separation between photograph and illustration
- Soft warm editorial presentation
- Large amount of negative space around the illustration
- Minimal, elegant, sentimental
- Premium handmade stationery / illustrated scrapbook aesthetic

CRITICAL RULE:
The uploaded photograph is the sole source of truth. Do not invent, substitute, merge, or carry over any person, clothing, object, background element, color, pose, or detail from another image.

The bottom illustration must clearly look like a hand-drawn version of the EXACT moment shown in the top photograph.

REFERENCE PRIORITY:
1. Exact subject and pose
2. Facial expression and hairstyle
3. Clothing and accessories
4. Overall composition
5. Illustration style
6. Minimal decorative elements

Never sacrifice subject accuracy for artistic stylization.

Social Media Post - Watercolor and Colored Pencil Children's Book Illustration Template

大龙GPT Image 2
Hand-drawn children's picture book illustration, traditional media texture. The base layer consists of large blocks of watercolor and gouache, where uneven water tones, brush directions, and pigment sedimentation are visible within the color blocks; edges have water stains, and color blocks overlap semi-transparently. The upper layer uses colored pencils for lines and hatching, with line colors matching the fill colors (not ink lines or dark outlines), varying thickness, slightly shaky, many shapes left unoutlined, textures represented by hand-drawn parallel pencil lines. The image is flat and decorative, without linear perspective, depth achieved only through layered occlusion of color blocks and cooling/darkening in the distance. No unified light source, no volumetric shadows; objects have only small contact shadows drawn with colored pencil hatching. Background sprinkled with fine white and light-colored granular dots. Dark colors use indigo or deep purple, never pure black.

Scene: {argument name="scene" default="Forest Picnic"}. Composition: {argument name="composition" default="Central Symmetry"}, distributed with varying density, disparate object sizes, partial occlusions.
Decorative patterns: {argument name="patterns" default="Mushrooms, leaves, berries"}.
Color palette: {argument name="color_palette" default="Warm Tones"}.
Characters: All very small, occupying about one-sixth of the image height, bodies are flat silhouettes with no details (no nose, mouth, or paw details); eyes are white circles with a single black dot pupil, slightly large and tilted. {argument name="character_action" default="Little rabbit eating a carrot"}.
{argument name="optional_technique" default=""}

No vector flat style, no 3D rendering, no smooth digital gradients, no glossy highlights, no realistic lighting/shadows, no uniform paper texture filter, no text.
