Prompt

Transform the uploaded photo into a beautiful, heartwarming, hand-drawn storybook illustration. Preserve the original subjects’ recognizable features, hairstyles, poses, expressions, clothing, body language, and emotional connection. Keep the composition and interaction faithful to the reference photo. ART STYLE: Warm, playful, modern children's book illustration with a soft hand-painted, colored-pencil, and crayon texture. Use expressive black-brown sketch outlines, slightly imperfect lines, simplified organic shapes, gentle facial features, rosy cheeks, and natural, joyful expressions. Apply a warm pastel palette with coral pink, dusty blue, caramel brown, soft peach, and creamy off-white. TEXTURE & DETAILS: Visible pencil strokes, subtle paper grain, lightly uneven coloring, sketchy hair strands, minimal shading, and charming handmade imperfections. Create a cozy, nostalgic, affectionate atmosphere full of warmth and personality. BACKGROUND: Simplify the original background into a clean, minimal cream-colored paper backdrop. Add a few small, hand-drawn decorative marks, playful lines, tiny hearts, or expressive doodles that complement the scene without distracting from the subjects. COMPOSITION: Maintain the original framing, subject placement, pose, and interaction. Make the subjects the clear focal point. Use clean shapes, balanced negative space, and an organic editorial storybook aesthetic. IMPORTANT: Illustrate the actual uploaded photo rather than inventing a new scene. Preserve the subjects' identities and defining characteristics. Avoid photorealism, 3D rendering, glossy digital painting, excessive detail, harsh shadows, complex backgrounds, and overly polished vector graphics. No text, watermark, or border. OUTPUT: A high-quality, charming, hand-drawn storybook illustration with a soft vintage print feel, warm colors, visible artistic texture, and genuine emotional expression. Adapt the illustration naturally to the uploaded photo, regardless of the subjects or setting.
