Prompt template

Transform the character or object in the attached photo into a funny illustration in a childlike doodle style. Preserve the original image’s main recognizable features—its shape, pose, distinctive traits, and proportions—but make the drawing deliberately crooked, awkward, and comical, as if a child drew it.

Give the character funny, bulging eyes: large, round, slightly exaggerated, and comically surprised. Make the eyes intentionally silly to heighten the humor while keeping the character recognizable.

Use rough, uneven black outlines reminiscent of wax crayon, soft pencil, or a careless hand-drawn sketch. Let the lines be imperfect, somewhat wobbly, and varied in thickness.

Color the image with chaotic scribbles and quick strokes, without carefully staying inside the outlines. Let some strokes extend slightly beyond the edges. The result should feel deliberately simple, naive, funny, and charmingly messy—like an amusing child’s drawing—while keeping the original character or object easily recognizable.
