Prompt Text

Transform the people in the reference photo into a stylish hand-drawn fashion illustration while keeping their facial features, poses, expressions, hairstyles, clothing, body proportions, and overall composition recognizable. Use a mixed-media aesthetic combining a realistic photographic background with detailed pencil-and-colored-pencil sketching on the people. Add visible hand-drawn cross-hatching, rough pencil strokes, subtle ink outlines, textured shading, and slightly imperfect sketch details. Keep the clothing highly detailed with realistic fabric folds and denim texture.

Surround each illustrated person with a thick irregular white sticker/paper-cutout border, as if they were individually cut out by hand. Add small pieces of semi-transparent white masking tape around the edges of some figures, creating a scrapbook/editorial collage effect. The background should remain realistic, softly lit, natural, and slightly blurred, creating a strong contrast between the photographic environment and illustrated subjects.

Aesthetic: Korean/Japanese fashion editorial, contemporary street-style illustration, scrapbook collage, fashion sketchbook, photorealistic background + hand-drawn characters, clean but imperfect pencil artwork, cozy muted tones, subtle film grain, soft natural lighting, premium editorial photography.

High detail, realistic faces, natural anatomy, expressive eyes, detailed hair strands, realistic clothing textures, clean composition, full-body framing, professional fashion editorial quality. Avoid overly cartoonish proportions, CGI appearance, excessive saturation, distorted hands, extra fingers, warped faces, or overly smooth digital painting.

For the exact “3 friends walking” look

Add this at the end:

Three stylish young adults walking together casually, interacting naturally and looking at each other, full-body shot, candid friendship moment, urban university/campus setting, relaxed oversized streetwear, wide-leg jeans and trousers, sneakers, tote bags and backpacks, photographed at eye level.
