Storybook Illustration Prompt with Pastel Watercolors

{ "prompt": "Use the uploaded image strictly as an identity reference. Transform it into a soft storybook-style illustration with smooth graphite-and-pencil linework, rounded shapes, and gentle hand-drawn imperfections. Apply airy pastel colors with a watercolor-pencil blend effect, subtle gradients, and light bloom highlights. Keep colors fresh and lively while remaining natural. Add delicate cross-hatching for shadows and a paper-grain texture. Facial features are simplified and cute: rounded faces, tiny dot eyes, short curved eyebrows, and a calm closed-mouth smile. Overall look should feel cozy, nostalgic, and whimsical, like a children’s picture book illustration.", "style": "storybook pencil + watercolor-pencil blend", "lighting": "diffused daylight glow", "color_palette": "soft pastels with fresh highlights", "texture": "paper grain, cross-hatching, watercolor-pencil wash", "face_style": "cute simplified features, dot eyes", "proportions": "chibi-leaning semi-realistic", "mood": "whimsical, cozy, nostalgic", "background": "light, airy, minimal shapes with soft pencil fills" }
