EMOTIONAL_PICTURE_DIARY

TASK
Carefully analyze the uploaded photo, then turn it into an adult's emotional picture diary, drawn with colored pencils. Both the drawing and the handwritten notes must clearly come from THIS photo; never use generic content.

Output one landscape image in a 4:3 ratio on a full, pure white background. Do not show a sketchbook, notebook, page, paper edges, table, or surface. Show only a small drawing and a few notes floating on clean white.

PHOTO ANALYSIS
- Identify people: count, approximate age group, gender, hairstyle and hair color, glasses, clothing items, colors and textures, and accessories.
- Identify animals: count, species, fur color, and markings.
- Identify the scene: place, what is happening, notable objects or food, season, time of day, light, weather, and overall mood.
- Find the MAIN SUBJECT(S): the person or animal the moment is really about, and the single key action of that moment.
- Based on this analysis, decide on your own the emotional core of that day: what the moment meant, what lingered afterward, and the quiet detail worth remembering.
- Decide who “나” (“I”)—the diary writer—is: the main person in the photo. If no person appears, the writer is the person who took the photo.
- Treat the photo as information only. Do NOT trace it or redraw the whole photo. Do NOT copy its camera angle, framing, head tilts, lighting, or level of detail.

STRICT LAYOUT
- Divide the canvas into two columns using an invisible vertical center line.
- DRAWING COLUMN (left or right; choose the side that best balances the composition):
  - The drawing's entire bounding box must be no more than 40% of the canvas width and 60% of its height.
  - Leave at least 8% empty white margin between the drawing and the outer canvas edge, top edge, and bottom edge.
  - Leave at least 10% empty white space between the drawing and the center line. The drawing must NEVER reach or cross the center line.
  - Make the drawing a small vignette—a spot illustration whose edges fade softly into white like an unfinished sketch. No frame, box, or filled-in background.
- NOTES COLUMN (the other half):
  - Include only a few small handwritten notes in a loose vertical column, with generous spacing:
    1. Date with weekday, plus the weather in one word and a tiny colored-pencil weather doodle.
    2. A short title.
    3. Only one or two short lines.
  - Keep the notes column mostly empty white.
- Keep at least 55% of the whole canvas pure empty white.

VIGNETTE CONTENT
- Draw only the key moment: the main subject(s) doing the key action, plus at most two or three small props that show where the moment took place and what it was about.
- Only HINT at the setting: use a short ground line or patch beneath the figures and one or two simple elements of the place, fading quickly into white. No full background, sky, or distant scenery.
- Do NOT draw large crowds or background people in full. Reduce them to at most a couple of faint, small, simplified figures, or leave them out.
- Less is more. The vignette should feel quiet, airy, and uncluttered.

DATE AND WEATHER
- If the photo shows a visible date or a strong holiday/event cue, use a matching date.
- Otherwise, use the date the image is generated, with the correct weekday.
- The weather must match the photo analysis. For indoor photos, infer it from window light, clothing, and seasonal cues.

ILLUSTRATION STYLE
- Create a simple, cozy colored-pencil illustration in a sketch-journal style, as if drawn quickly and casually by an adult keeping a diary in about 30 minutes, not hours.
- Use a stylized, flat, NOT realistic look: simplified shapes and clean, slightly wobbly colored-pencil outlines in a darker shade of each area's color.
- Fill areas with loose, visible diagonal pencil strokes in one or two layered tones, allowing the white background to show through. No realistic light-and-shadow modeling, smooth gradients, volume rendering, or realistic cast shadows. At most, use a small, simple shadow shape beneath feet or objects.
- Keep detail low throughout: show only the main folds and patterns on clothes; draw hair as a simple mass with a few strand lines; reduce props to basic recognizable shapes; omit fine textures.
- Choose a soft, muted, limited palette suited to the photo's mood and time of day. Leave highlights as untouched white.
- Use hand-drawn colored pencil only—NOT watercolor, ink linework, photorealism, semi-realism, 3D, anime, glossy digital art, or a child's drawing.
- Maintain ONE consistent level of stylization throughout the drawing. Faces, bodies, clothes, and props must all share the same simple, flat treatment.

FACE RENDERING
- Draw simplified illustration faces, like a gentle storybook or sketch-journal illustration—not portraits.
- Eyes: small, simple shapes—a dark dot or small filled oval with one or two lash lines. No whites-of-the-eye detail or reflections.
- Nose: one small line or a tiny dot-like shape.
- Mouth: a single simple line or tiny shape with light color.
- Skin: one flat, light skin tone with white showing through and a soft, round blush on the cheeks. No facial shading, pores, or skin texture.
- Convey likeness through the proportions and arrangement of features, hairstyle, glasses, and outfit—not realistic rendering.

PEOPLE AND ANIMALS
- Always include the main subject(s) and keep them recognizable. Do not add anyone who is not in the photo.
- Adults: use 8.5-head-tall body proportions and draw simplified, stylized figures with simple hands and limbs. Children retain natural child proportions.
- Follow the photo for hairstyle, hair color, glasses, clothing, and accessories, rendered as simplified, flat colored-pencil shapes.
- IDENTITY LOCK: Take the shape, size, spacing, and relative position of the eyes, nose, and mouth from the photo and keep them faithful. Do not beautify, average, or symmetrize them. Translate them into the simplified FACE RENDERING style: keep the likeness, drop the realism.
- Let facial expressions follow the diary's emotional story, not the photo.
- Do NOT take head angle, head tilt, face direction, or gaze from the photo. Pose them to fit the new composition.
- Because the drawing is small, first draw each face at full size with complete likeness, then scale down the whole figure proportionally. Never draw a small face from scratch. After scaling, the face must retain the same simple, flat treatment as the rest of the drawing.
- Keep animals recognizable by species, fur color, markings, and outfit, using simple, flat, stylized shapes.

HANDWRITTEN NOTES
- Write in Korean only, using neat, natural adult handwriting in a fine, dark colored-pencil line. The writing may be slightly uneven, but every syllable must be clear, legible, and correctly spelled.
- Title: short, 2 to 10 syllables, and suited to the mood.
- Body: only one or two short lines, in the first person (“나”), using a calm, warm adult voice that is never cheesy. Include one specific detail from the photo and a hint of how “나” felt.
- Keep the writing brief; less is better.
- Do not let text overflow or cut off sentences, and do not place text over the drawing.
- Do not use garbled, invented, or broken characters. No English or Chinese characters.

AVOID
- A drawing wider than 40% of the canvas; a drawing that reaches or crosses the center line; a drawing that touches any canvas edge.
- Redrawing the whole photo; a full scene or background; sky, mountains, distant scenery, crowds, many background figures, or a busy composition.
- A sketchbook, notebook, paper sheet, page edges, spiral binding, paper-texture background, table, desk surface, or off-white or cream background.
- Long diary text or many lines of writing.
- Realistic or semi-realistic drawing; realistic colored-pencil portraiture; a photo-traced look; realistic lighting or shadows; smooth gradients; 3D volume.
- Highly detailed hair, fabric, or background textures.
- Realistic or hyper-detailed faces; realistic skin texture or pores; glossy realistic eyes; realistic lips; facial shading; or a face more detailed than the body.
- A drawing in a frame or box.
- A watercolor or ink look, photorealism, a pasted-in real photo, a 3D render, anime style, glossy digital art, or a childlike crayon drawing.
- Copied photo composition or head angle; beautified or averaged facial features.
- Broken or fake Hangul, or text running off the canvas.
- Hands, pencils, or phone shadows.
