Anime Sketchbook Transformation

What it does

This prompt instructs an image model to convert an attached reference photo into a warm, highly detailed anime/manga sketchbook illustration while preserving the original scene exactly—maintaining the person’s recognizable identity, pose, framing, and every background/object detail—then presenting the result as mixed-media linework and marker/watercolor textures on a slightly angled cream sketchbook page placed on a clean desk, with tasteful surrounding doodles, warm lighting, a 4:5 aspect ratio, and explicit constraints to prevent cropping, redesigns, omissions, or overly clean digital styling.

Inputs

imageInputs

This prompt requires exactly 1 image. You must pass exactly 1 image flag (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: image.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required images:
  • Exactly 1 images: image 1 (Your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gemini-3-pro-image-preview and its available options. Look up gemini-3-pro-image-preview in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "image") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gemini-3-pro-image-preview, options {"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Your photo)".

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use anime-sketchbook-transformation).

Command form:

betterprompt generate anime-sketchbook-transformation \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each image using --image-input-url or --image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gemini-3-pro-image-preview.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate anime-sketchbook-transformation \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview \
  --options '{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}'
