Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Turn this photo into a children's picture book illustration. Keep the subject recognizable (face, colors, markings). Soft colored pencil and gouache texture, rounded friendly shapes, a cozy simple scene around the subject such as a meadow or a sunny room, warm palette, slightly naive hand-drawn style. Vertical 3:4, no text.
The look of the style
The picture has rounded shapes, a pencil outline and layered gouache color, like the pages of a bedtime book. Faces get simplified, but fur color, hair color and clothes stay in the drawing. Parents use it for room posters, birthday invitations and personalized stories. It also suits a dog or cat that you want to see as the main character of a tale.
What to expect and ideas for use
The AI redraws everything, so the face is an interpretation. Small details such as freckles or a tooth gap sometimes disappear. If the markings on a pet matter to you, mention them in the caption. A rerun costs the same 2 credits and gives a different drawing. The image comes vertical 3:4 without text, so you can add the title of your story yourself in any editor. Print the page as a framed illustration, use it as a cover for a homemade photo book, or send it to grandparents in a chat. For a series of pages, keep the same photo and change only the scene in the caption, which gives a consistent hero across several pictures.
Tips
- A pet or child facing the camera gives the cleanest result.
- Describe one simple place in the caption. Crowded scenes turn muddy.
- Ask for a specific palette such as warm yellows and sky blue.
- Plain clothes keep the drawing clean, busy patterns get simplified.
- Make several versions and pick the one that fits your story.
Questions and answers
Can I put text on the picture?
The prompt asks for no text, because AI often misspells words. Add the title later in a layout app.
Does it keep my child's face?
It keeps general features, hair color and clothing, but this is a drawing, so the face is simplified. Check each result before printing.
Will my pet look like my pet?
Fur color and markings usually carry over. Send a sharp photo with visible eyes for the best match.
What is the cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, which is 7 images.
Can I paste the prompt elsewhere?
Yes. Copy it from the box on this page and use it in any image AI that takes a photo.
