Transform only the people in the uploaded photo into cute, hand-drawn crayon doodle characters. Keep every other element in the photo unchanged and photographically realistic.

Format: vertical ${aspect-ratio:3:4}. Preserve the original composition, camera angle, lens perspective, lighting, and colors.

Background lock: Keep the walls, sky, buildings, vehicle interiors, graffiti, signs, text, furniture, water surfaces, ground, and all objects 100% photographic and completely unchanged. No doodle strokes, outlines, or paper texture may appear anywhere outside the people.

People: Replace each person with a chibi doodle character in exactly the same position, relative scale, angle, and pose as in the original image. Features include a large, round head approximately one-third of the character's height, a short and simplified torso and limbs, and small mitten-shaped hands. Preserve the exact head tilt, body orientation, gestures, hand positions, and interactions between people. Never turn a person's face toward the camera.

Facial features: Keep them simple and cute. Draw eyes as tiny solid dots or curved closed-eye lines. Use short, thick strokes for eyebrows that convey the original expression. Draw the nose as a tiny hooked line. Keep the mouth small and simple, matching the original expression. Add round, loosely scribbled rose-pink blush to the cheeks. Draw eyes only where they are visible; if sunglasses cover the eyes, draw only the sunglasses.

Identifying details: Preserve the original hairstyle, hair color, and hair volume using dense crayon scribbles. Render curly hair as loose looping scribbles. Preserve the colors, styles, necklines, sleeve shapes, and printed patterns of all clothing. Redraw all accessories with rough, simplified details, including sunglasses with glossy black lenses and white highlight streaks, necklaces, pendants, earrings, rings, headphones, headphone wires, bags, and straps. Render visible stubble, beards, or chest hair with faint scribbled strokes.

Drawing technique: Use a hand-drawn oil-pastel and crayon style on textured paper. Use rough, irregular black crayon outlines. Fill the interiors with dense directional hatching that matches the original colors. Include visible paper texture, slightly irregular shapes, tiny unfilled white specks within the filled areas, and simple crayon crease lines on clothing.

Integration: Position the doodle characters precisely where the people appear in the original photo, preserving the correct scale, depth of field, occlusion relationships, and contact with seats, walls, vehicles, and the ground. Keep handheld objects, such as phones or cups, in their original photographic form.

Final result: An unchanged real photograph in which only the people have been redrawn as cute crayon doodles, creating a strong mixed-media contrast between realistic photography and hand-drawn art.
