The prompt

Redraw my photo in a hand-painted Japanese animation style. Soft watercolour backgrounds with visible brush texture and hand-painted clouds. Clean, thin character linework with flat colour fills and gentle cel shading. Warm, saturated greens and skies. Keep my recognisable features — hair colour and shape, face shape, glasses if I wear them — in a way that is clearly me, drawn. A wide establishing composition with the figure small against a generous landscape. Not photorealistic: this is a painted frame.

“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.

One thing that helps

Illustration styles lose likeness fastest. A close-up source photo preserves far more than a full-body one.
