A Photo and Storybook Keepsake — AI Image Prompt Guide

A Photo and Storybook Keepsake — AI Image Prompt Guide — 3

Pair an original photo with a watercolor-and-pencil storybook interpretation of the same moment, emphasizing subject consistency, negative space and paper texture.

English translation of the public case notes.

Use a clear photograph with a complete pose and an uncluttered scene to create a vertical 3:4 composition with equal halves. Keep the original photo above and illustrate the same moment below in a children's picture-book style. Suitable subjects include families, pets and travel memories. Declare the photograph as the sole reference, specify the 50/50 layout, then describe photographic fidelity and the illustration style. Preserve expression, hairstyle, clothing patterns, pose and proportions before adding decorative effects. Use cream textured paper, watercolour, pencil, ample whitespace, sparse ornaments and small handwritten accents. Simplify the lower background and leave breathing room around a smaller figure. Do not beautify or repaint the photo, change clothing or pose, or default to generic cartoons, smooth digital 3D or franchise-style anime. The source's optional handwritten-title advice is incomplete. [Source text is truncated.]

Chinese prompt

创建一张单幅竖版 3:4 的“照片 + 手绘插画”作品，仅基于上传的照片。

将上传的照片作为唯一视觉参考。独立分析照片，并在插画中复现完全相同的主体、姿势、表情、服装、发型、配饰、物体、比例和整体瞬间。不要引入任何来自此前图像或参考图的元素。

上半部分——原始照片

画布上方约 50% 用于原始照片。

忠实、自然地保留照片：
- 保持原始主体完全可识别。
- 保留面部、表情、发型、服装、配饰、姿势、身体比例和可见物体。
- 保留原始环境和构图。
- 不要修饰、美化、替换或重新设计主体。
- 保持照片的写实感，并保留其原始光线、颜色、质感和细节。

下半部分——手绘插画

画布下方约 50% 用于同一张照片的迷人手工插画。

将照片中的瞬间转化为精致的儿童故事书风格手绘作品。

插画风格：
- 柔和的水彩与彩色铅笔质感
- 轻柔的铅笔/墨线轮廓
- 略带不完美的手工笔触
- 温暖、有触感的米白色纹理纸张
- 柔和自然的阴影
- 细腻的水彩淡涂
- 可爱、富有表情、健康温馨的外观
- 精致的手作不完美感
- 不要有光滑的数字渲染外观
- 不要照片写实
- 不要 3D CGI
- 不要动漫或卡通 IP 风格

最重要的是，准确保留照片中的主体：
- 相同的姿势和身体位置
- 相同的面部表情
- 相同的发型
- 相同的服装和服装图案
- 相同的鞋子/配饰
- 相同的比例
- 相同的标志性视觉细节
- 相同的整体动作或情绪

大幅简化背景。不要重建每一个背景细节。只保留对原始环境非常微妙的暗示，让插画主体保持视觉焦点。

将插画主体放得比照片中的主体略小，并在周围保留充足留白。

极简装饰细节

在插画周围添加少量细小的手绘装饰符号，例如：
- 小爱心
- 简单的动态线
- 小涂鸦
- 细微的星星或花朵

保持这些装饰稀疏且有品味。

在插画附近添加一小段手写标题，例如：

“little happy girl ♡”

标题应看起来自然手写，带有随性的棕色/灰色铅笔或墨水质感。

如果上传的主体不是女孩，则自动适当调整措辞，或完全省略标题。

整体美学

最终作品应感觉像一段珍贵回忆被转化为手工儿童绘本中的一页。

构图：
- 竖版 3:4
- 照片与插画之间清晰分隔
- 柔和温暖的编辑式呈现
- 插画周围有大量留白
- 极简、优雅、感性
- 高级手工文具 / 插画剪贴簿美学

关键规则：
上传的照片是唯一事实来源。不要发明、替换、合并或沿用来自其他图像的任何人物、服装、物体、背景元素、颜色、姿势或细节。

下方插画必须清楚看起来像上方照片中同一准确瞬间的手绘版本。

参考优先级：
1. 准确的主体和姿势
2. 面部表情和发型
3. 服装和配饰
4. 整体构图
5. 插画风格
6. 极简装饰元素

English prompt

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
