The characters & people prompt

Use the single uploaded photo as the only visual reference. Transform the person into an adorable hand-drawn 2D children’s storybook character, while keeping their identity immediately recognizable.

Preserve exactly from the photo:
- Facial features and skin tone
- Real hairstyle, length, texture, and color
- Exact clothing, colors, patterns, and layering
- Glasses, jewelry, headwear, bags, and all visible accessories

Do not invent or copy hairstyles, outfits, accessories, braids, pigtails, bows, bonnets, or headscarves from any reference artwork.

### Character
Use an oversized rounded head, tiny compact body, short arms, narrow shoulders, soft rounded silhouette, and cute childlike proportions. Keep the head visually dominant. Avoid realistic anatomy.

### Face
Simplify into tiny dot/oval eyes, minimal nose, tiny smiling mouth, rounded cheeks, and soft peach/pink blush. Keep recognizable facial characteristics. No realistic eyes, detailed lips, anime features, glossy 3D rendering, or heavy shading.

### Hair & Clothing
Recreate the exact hairstyle and outfit from the uploaded photo, simplified into chunky hand-drawn shapes. Preserve important colors, patterns, jewelry, glasses, and other recognizable details.

### Style
Handmade 2D picture-book aesthetic using soft gouache, wax crayon, colored pencil, and dry pastel. Use slightly irregular dark-brown linework, subtle paper grain, uneven pigment, soft brush marks, and imperfect painted edges. Avoid clean vector art, CGI, anime, or photorealism.

### Composition
Square 1:1 portrait, chest/waist-up, centered and facing mostly forward, with balanced negative space. Use a relaxed, charming pose.

### Background
Simple warm mustard, butter yellow, ochre, or cream background with subtle paper texture. No scenery, objects, text, borders, or distractions.

Final feeling: the same person lovingly redrawn as an extremely cute, warm, wholesome, nostalgic, handcrafted children’s-book character—same identity, same hair, same clothes, same accessories, completely simplified and adorable.
