Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Use the uploaded photo as the base. Preserve the original subject, identity, pose, composition, lighting, styling, and atmosphere. Do not alter the person’s face, body, clothes, or the main structure of the image.

Add expressive hand-drawn doodles as if a playful art director reacted to the photo with a marker. Make them intentional and context-aware: follow the subject’s pose, echo movement, underline emotions, and add tiny visual jokes, sparks, arrows, motion trails, cute symbols, or imaginative details that interact with the scene.

Topic or theme: ${topic:Monday run / понеділкова пробіжка}. Use this as contextual guidance so the doodles and handwritten phrases feel relevant to the scene. If no topic is desired, leave this blank and infer the context from the photo.

Include a few short handwritten phrases matching the image’s mood and topic. Make them witty, spontaneous, and unique to the scene—like a funny thought, tiny caption, or inner monologue. Avoid generic motivational quotes. If custom phrases are provided, incorporate them: ${custom-phrases}

All handwritten text and captions must be in ${text-language:Ukrainian}. The illustration style should feel sketchy, imperfect, and human-made, with organic lines, slightly uneven strokes, casual handwritten lettering, and light, playful energy.

Keep the composition clean and balanced, with enough negative space. The doodles should decorate and amplify the photo, not overpower it. Aim for a modern, editorial, humorous, social-media-ready, high-resolution result with a clean overlay and ${color-palette:vibrant but natural colors}.
