The prompt behind this style

In the bot this prompt is applied by the button. Copy it if you want to use it in another image tool.

Turn this photo into a hand carved linocut print. Keep the face recognizable. Bold black ink shapes on cream paper, rough carved texture lines, two colors at most, slightly uneven ink coverage. Vertical 3:4, no text.

The linocut technique

In linocut, an artist cuts a design into linoleum, rolls ink over the surface and presses it on paper. Only the raised parts print, so there are no smooth gradients. The prompt asks for bold black shapes, cream paper, rough carved texture and uneven ink. Faces turn into flat black and white areas with cut lines for shading. The style is common in posters, album covers and packaging.

Getting better prints

The AI converts shadows into black blocks. A photo with a clear light side and a dark side gives the best structure. If too much black swallows the face, ask for less ink around the eyes. A second color adds a spot of accent. Mention the color in the caption. Cream paper is the default, but you can ask for white or kraft.

Limits

The result looks printed but is a digital image. Small details like stubble or lashes may merge into black areas. Line patterns can repeat in a way a real carver would avoid. It is not a file for cutting real linoleum. If the likeness drifts, rerun for 2 credits. When the image arrives, look at the carved lines first, since that is where drift shows up most.
