Use the provided reference image as the main identity and pose reference. Transform the person into a cute, playful, hand-drawn doodle illustration while preserving their recognizable identity. STYLE: - Adorable handmade sketchbook doodle aesthetic - Simple black pen/pencil line art with slightly rough, imperfect strokes - Childlike, charming, whimsical drawing style - Minimal coloring with soft pastel accents - White/off-white paper background - Visible hand-drawn texture and natural sketch imperfections - Avoid polished digital vector art or overly clean anime rendering CHARACTER: - Preserve the person's key facial features, face shape, hairstyle, hair length, clothing, accessories, and overall appearance from the reference - Keep the person's recognizable characteristics rather than making them look like a generic character - Use simplified cute proportions with a slightly oversized head and expressive eyes - Large round hand-drawn eyes, tiny nose, small cheerful mouth, and subtle blush on the cheeks - Keep the original hairstyle recognizable while translating it into loose sketchy strokes POSE & EXPRESSION: - Preserve the main pose and body direction from the reference - Give the character a cute, cheerful, playful expression - Natural hand gestures and expressive body language - Add small doodle elements around the character that match the mood, such as hearts, stars, crowns, sparkles, motion lines, flowers, or tiny symbols DRAWING DETAILS: - Black sketch lines should be slightly uneven, textured, and imperfect - Use loose cross-hatching and scribbled shading where appropriate - Pastel pink, yellow, blue, or other soft colors may be used sparingly for cheeks and decorative doodles - Keep the illustration mostly monochrome with selective colorful accents - White background with plenty of negative space - Make it feel like someone personally drew the character with a black marker or pencil on paper COMPOSITION: - Center the character prominently - Keep the framing similar to the reference photo - Add a few cute surrounding doodles without distracting from the character - Clean, simple composition suitable for a profile picture, sticker, social media post, or cute illustration IMPORTANT: Do not make the character photorealistic. Do not make it overly polished, 3D, glossy, or professionally vectorized. The final result should look like an authentic cute handmade doodle drawn by a talented person in a sketchbook, while still clearly resembling the person in the reference image.
