Watercolour Collage Portrait from a Selfie — AI Image Prompt Guide

Preserve facial structure, expression, hairstyle and bindi while turning a reference portrait into a monochrome watercolour collage. Cream paper, botanical ink lines and restrained royal-blue accents define the style.

English translation of the public case notes.

Image-to-image case turning a clear, unobstructed selfie or half-length reference into a mixed-media portrait. The objective is a monochrome close-up watercolour collage that preserves the South Asian woman's facial characteristics, smile, hairstyle and bindi. The style combines watercolour washes, cream paper, botanical ink outlines, scrapbook collage and restrained royal-blue accents. Keep facial structure, expression and skin texture recognizable. Specify preservation of the facial features and structure before describing hair and expression. Layer paper, watercolour, plant drawings and doodles afterwards so the decorative treatment does not overwhelm identity. Avoid excessive beautification, distorted features, dominant blue accents, botanical lines covering the face, overly dirty paper texture and dense splatters. Practical controls: • Explicitly preserve eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline and skin texture before introducing the style. • Limit the palette to a grayscale portrait with royal-blue accents. • Place decoration around edges and selected surrounding areas, leaving the face visually clear.

基于上传参考图中的同一位年轻南亚女性，创作一幅高级混合媒介水彩与数字艺术肖像。

创作一张她面部和上肩部的大幅近景灰度黑白肖像。保留参考图中她准确的面部身份和脸部结构，包括眼睛、眉毛、鼻子、嘴唇、下颌线、皮肤质感和自然表情。

她有一头从中间分缝的自然深色长卷发，柔和地勾勒脸部轮廓。在她的额头上添加一个很小的宾迪点。让她呈现温暖、自然的微笑，带有真实的面部细节和富有表现力的眼睛。

肖像应通过艺术化的水彩渗化、柔和灰色水洗、深蓝色点缀、黑色墨水飞溅和有机颜料纹理，柔和地淡出并溶解到带纹理的浅奶油色纸张背景中。

在肖像的部分区域周围加入精致的手绘植物墨线草图，包括叶子、细枝和花卉图案。在边缘周围添加富有表现力的水彩泼洒和散落的颜料滴。于右下侧附近加入一个微妙的手绘白色涂鸦爱心。

风格：精致的手工剪贴簿拼贴、混合媒介水彩插画、带有微妙皇家蓝水彩点缀的单色肖像、哑光纹理纸、有机笔触、优雅的艺术构图、高细节写实面部。

English prompt

Create a premium mixed-media watercolor and digital art portrait of the same young South Asian woman from the uploaded reference image.

Create a large close-up grayscale black-and-white portrait of her face and upper shoulders. Preserve her exact facial identity and facial structure from the reference image, including her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin texture, and natural expression.

She has long, natural wavy dark hair parted in the middle, softly framing her face. Add a tiny bindi on her forehead. Give her a warm, natural smile with realistic facial details and expressive eyes.

The portrait should softly fade and dissolve into a textured light cream paper background using artistic watercolor bleeding, soft gray washes, deep blue accents, black ink splatters, and organic paint textures.

Surround parts of the portrait with delicate hand-drawn botanical ink sketches of leaves, thin branches, and floral patterns. Add expressive watercolor splashes and scattered paint droplets around the edges. Include a subtle hand-drawn white doodle heart near the lower-right side.

Style: sophisticated handmade scrapbook collage, mixed-media watercolor illustration, monochrome portrait with subtle royal-blue watercolor accents, textured matte paper, organic brushwork, elegant artistic composition, high-detail realistic face.
