MAIN PROMPT
Transform only the people in the uploaded photograph into adorable hand-drawn doodle characters while keeping the entire original photographic background unchanged.

FORMAT LOCK
Vertical 3:4 composition. Preserve the original framing, camera angle, perspective, lighting, colors, and scene structure.

BACKGROUND LOCK — CRITICAL
Keep the original sky, landscape, buildings, water, furniture, ground, plants, railings, objects, lighting, colors, perspective, textures, and environmental details fully photographic. Do not redraw, simplify, stylize, illustrate, or apply doodle effects to anything except the people.

PEOPLE TRANSFORMATION
Replace each person with a charming naive doodle character while preserving the exact number of people, original position, relative scale, orientation, head direction, body direction, pose, gestures, arm and leg positions, interactions, hairstyle, clothing colors, and major accessories.
If a person faces away, keep them back-facing. If sideways, keep them sideways. If facing forward, keep them forward-facing. Never rotate a person toward the camera or invent facial features that are not visible.

DOODLE STYLE
Adorable imperfect hand-drawn characters with oversized round heads, tiny compact bodies, short simplified limbs, tiny hands and feet, cute awkward proportions, loose scribbled hair, tiny dot eyes and simple facial features only when visible, and subtle rosy scribbled cheeks when appropriate.

DRAWING TECHNIQUE
Loose naive children’s-sketch aesthetic. Thin shaky black outlines, imperfect shapes, overlapping sketch lines, scribbled colored-pencil or crayon fills, uneven coloring, small white gaps, rough edges, and intentionally handmade imperfections. Keep the characters simple, charming, expressive, and slightly exaggerated.

INTEGRATION
Maintain accurate scale, ground contact, depth, perspective, lighting interaction, and natural occlusion. Doodle characters should occupy exactly the same locations as the original people and interact naturally with photographic objects. Objects being held or touched remain fully photographic.

COMPOSITION PRIORITY
Original photographic background
Exact person position and scale
Original body orientation
Original pose and gestures
Cute exaggerated doodle character design

FINAL LOOK
The image should feel like the real people were replaced with adorable hand-drawn doodle versions while the real-world photograph remained untouched. Create a convincing mixed-media contrast between realistic photography and handmade doodle characters.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
Avoid full-image illustration, background doodling, stylized scenery, realistic anatomy, anime, manga, 3D cartoon, polished digital art, vector lines, changed poses, changed orientation, invented faces, added people, altered background, altered objects, altered lighting, or unwanted environmental effects.
