Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person. Keep them clearly recognisable: face shape, skin tone, hairline, glasses and smile, as closely as the model permits; exaggerate gently and kindly, never in a mocking way; check the result against the reference. Scene: the person at a cartoon work desk surrounded by three monitors, sticky notes and a giant cup of coffee, on a plain pale yellow background. Pose: typing at speed with a big confident grin. Clothing: work clothes from the photo, simplified. Light: bright, even cartoon lighting. Style: warm hand-drawn caricature, big head and small body, clean ink lines, soft watercolour shading, flattering and kind. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: mocking exaggeration, changing skin tone, company names, brand names, logos, extra fingers, text, watermarks.
Customise
For example: three monitors, sticky notes and a giant cup of coffee.
For example: pale yellow.
