Hand-Drawn Doodle Portrait
Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool for this workflow. This is an image-editing transformation: the user’s supplied reference image is the identity and pose source, not merely loose inspiration.
Core transformation
Turn the person into one cute, playful, hand-drawn doodle illustration. Keep the person clearly recognizable by preserving the key facial features, face shape, hairstyle and hair length, clothing, accessories, overall appearance, main pose, and body direction. Simplify into cute proportions with a slightly oversized head and expressive body language, but do not replace the subject with a generic character.
Visual language
- Use an adorable handmade sketchbook aesthetic on white or warm off-white paper with visible paper and drawing texture.
- Draw with simple black pen or pencil lines: uneven, lightly rough, imperfect, and personally made rather than mechanically clean.
- Use large round hand-drawn eyes, a tiny nose, a small cheerful mouth, subtle cheek blush, and loose sketchy strokes that retain the person’s hairstyle.
- Add loose cross-hatching and scribbled shading sparingly.
- Keep the image mostly monochrome, with restrained pastel pink, yellow, and blue accents for cheeks and a few surrounding doodles.
- Add only a few mood-matching marks—such as hearts, stars, crowns, sparkles, motion lines, flowers, or tiny symbols—so they support the expression without competing with the portrait.
Composition and output
Center the character prominently, keep framing similar to the reference, and leave useful white negative space around the figure. The result should work as a profile picture, sticker, social post, or cute standalone illustration. Produce one finished image for each supplied source image; do not create a collage or a sheet of variants unless the user explicitly asks for one.
Avoid
Do not introduce photorealism, glossy 3D rendering, polished vector geometry, professional commercial cartoon finishing, overly clean anime rendering, dense backgrounds, or decorative doodles that obscure the person. Do not erase distinctive identity cues merely to make the proportions cuter. Keep the handmade sketchbook quality visible in the final image.
