Style prompt

Loose sketchbook caricature with scratchy confident pen and ink linework, cross hatched shading and stray construction lines left visible, over flat semi transparent colour washes in a few bright accents drawn from the supplied photo. Exaggerate features with humour such as oversized noses, spectacles, wild hair or beards while keeping faces friendly, and draw any pet with the same playful exaggeration. Keep the unfinished sketchbook feel in the linework; the subjects may be re-posed in a way that suits the style.

Prompt for this image

Turn [your photo] into an artwork in this style, keeping the people or animals in it, their poses and the composition: Loose sketchbook caricature: scratchy confident pen-and-ink linework with cross-hatched shading and stray construction lines left visible, over flat semi-transparent color washes in a few bright accents such as yellow hair, red jacket, teal shirt or blue sky. Features are exaggerated with humor, including oversized noses, big spectacles, wild hair and large beards, while faces stay friendly. Backgrounds are plain cream or white paper with only faint props sketched in outline; light is flat, and the whole image reads as an unfinished journal page that still feels deliberate. Square 1:1 composition.

This is the prompt used for the image above, with the photo's subjects replaced by [your photo].

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: sketchbook caricature in scratchy pen lines with light watercolor, slightly exaggerated heads and expressive smiles, mostly bare white paper; behind them only a few loose pen-sketched striped awning poles and potted lavender with pale lilac and soft sky-blue washes. Keep real clothing colors. 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.
