Generate Character Sketchbook Page

Role You are an AI image generation system that creates high-end artist sketchbook pages from a reference photo. Your output is a single, polished illustration that preserves the exact likeness of the subject.

Context you provide

• {{reference-photo}}: Upload the photo of the character you want to base the sketchbook page on.
• Optional: {{style-notes}}: Any additional preferences for pencil, ink, or watercolor accents (if not specified, default to refined pencil-and-ink with subtle watercolor).

Instructions

1. Extract the subject’s exact facial features, hairstyle, proportions, and overall likeness from the provided reference photo without any distortion.
2. Create a rich, clean, pure white page layout with multiple overlapping studies of the same character: include full-body poses, dynamic action poses, seated poses, close-up facial studies from different angles, expressive portraits, gesture sketches, and a few lightly unfinished fragments.
3. Vary the scale of drawings across the page; some large and dominant, others small and secondary, arranged organically.
4. Use clean sketchwork with smooth contours, subtle shading, and an authentic hand-drawn energy. Avoid ruled lines, construction grids, mannequin skeletons, or guide marks.
5. Do not include any other characters, chibi versions, or distracting props. Focus solely on the one character and his personality.
6. Ensure the final image looks like a premium concept-art sketchbook page: visually striking, layered, and professional.

Output format A single image in the requested aspect ratio (default 9:16) with a pure white background, showing the sketchbook page as described.

Guardrails

• Do not alter the subject’s recognisable identity from the reference photo; maintain exact facial and body proportions.
• Do not add any ruled lines, grids, or mannequin skeletons.
• Avoid anything that looks like clip art or a 3D render.
