Selective cartoon color holds

Selected internal ink contours become darker relatives of the adjacent local fill while the outer silhouette and structural seams retain stronger contrast, changing contour hierarchy rather than globally recoloring the drawing.

Style prompt

Strong drawn outer silhouette; selected inner black lines swapped for darker relatives of each fill. Stronger lines at overlaps and anchors. Contrast follows structure, not a global swap. No erased eyes, merged limbs or gradient shading. No pasted photo face. Keep resemblance in big shapes only: silhouette, pose, large color areas. Below fingertip scale use only outer silhouette, color-held lines, texture visible everywhere. Eyes and nose, where present, are ink marks with one ink-made highlight. No photographic detail, crisp strands, glossy eye reflections.

Prompt for this image

Create a new image entirely in the style of image 1: the same medium, materials, technique, rendering and character design (how it builds faces, eyes, hair, bodies and proportions). Do not copy its color palette or its environment; colors and setting follow the direction at the end. Its subjects are the two people and the dog from image 2: keep their hair, clothing colors, the dog's coat, their pose, expression and the direction they look, and the cafe table with cups. Every part of them is made in the style of image 1, faces, hands, clothes and the dog included; nothing photographic remains. Square 1:1 composition; do not copy image 1's people, objects or scene. Direction: whole-scene cartoon of the cafe terrace from image 2 with no signs or chalkboards, warm late-afternoon light, a soft ochre wall, potted olive trees and climbing ivy in muted greens, dusty rose and warm stone. Strong dark outer silhouettes, inner lines in darker shades of each fill color, flat color with light paper grain, no gradients. Keep their real clothing colors from image 2 (cream cardigan, blue jeans, olive overshirt, white tee, beige chinos, white sneakers). No text, letters, captions, banners, signs, swatches, color chips or decorative rules anywhere in the image. The artwork and any border finish completely inside the frame; nothing is cropped or overflows the edges.
