Transform the provided photo into a minimalist, hand-drawn illustration with a paper-like texture. Preserve the person’s original facial features, hairstyle, clothing, body proportions, and pose. Give the person a naturally cute, slightly chibi-like appearance without making them overly cartoonish.

Use delicate, slightly wobbly lines, flat acrylic paint, and natural brush marks. Draw the palette from the original photo and limit it to 4 main colors. Use a warm, off-white background with a rough paper texture, adding only a few color blocks to suggest the surroundings.

Place the person small and centered in the lower half of the composition, occupying about 10–20% of the overall image, with generous empty space around them. Aim for the refined look of an independent picture-book cover: gentle, simple, and artistic.

Avoid realism, 3D, excessive cartoon styling, and complex backgrounds. Do not add text.
