PHOTO → LOOSE BLACK & GRAY MARKER SKETCH
Transform the uploaded photo into a very loose, minimal hand-drawn marker illustration on warm white textured paper.
Redraw the image completely. 100% illustration, 0% photography.
STYLE: Make it look like a quick 3–5 minute fashion marker sketch drawn by hand.
Use ONLY:
black marker
charcoal gray
pale translucent gray
untouched warm white paper
Use bold, spontaneous, imperfect marker strokes with visible overlaps, uneven edges and occasional unfinished lines.
SIMPLIFICATION — CRITICAL: Simplify EVERYTHING aggressively.
Use very few strokes. Do not reproduce photographic details. Do not carefully render textures, folds, hair strands, accessories or background objects.
Prefer broad black and gray shapes over detailed outlines.
PERSON: Preserve the original pose, proportions, hairstyle, expression and clothing silhouette, but translate them into loose simplified shapes.
FACE: Keep the person recognizable, but draw the face with only a handful of marks: simple eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth. No realistic eyes, skin texture, eyelashes, detailed lips or fine shading.
HAIR: Use several large expressive black and gray marker strokes. No individual strands.
CLOTHING: Show only the main silhouette and a few large folds using broad gray strokes and sparse black contours.
ANIMALS / OBJECTS: If present, draw them extremely loosely with broad marker shapes and only enough detail to recognize them.
BACKGROUND: Almost completely white. Suggest the environment with only a few very pale gray abstract strokes. Do not recreate the full background.
COMPOSITION: Recompose naturally around the main subject rather than copying every element of the photograph. Leave generous untouched white space.
FINAL LOOK: raw, spontaneous, imperfect, airy, expressive, unfinished fashion-sketch aesthetic; large visible marker strokes; strong black accents; transparent gray washes; minimal detail; warm textured paper.
NO photorealism. NO detailed pencil drawing. NO fine linework. NO smooth digital shading. NO detailed background. NO polished rendering.
