Cute Hand-Drawn Character Illustration

Full prompt

Transform photo into a refined minimalist hand-drawn children's storybook illustration, using a soft Korean-Japanese pastel aesthetic.

Preserve the exact pose, composition, clothing colors, hairstyle, and overall photo structure from the original image, but simplify the figure into cute doll-like storybook character, with tiny facial features, rosy cheeks, dot eyes, a soft smile, and a slightly simplified body structure.

Use slender and imperfect pencil lines, subtle sketch textures, the softness of watercolor, soft pastel shading, and light creamy white tones. The illustration should feel airy, innocent, cozy, romantic, and full of whimsy.

Keep a clean and simple background, accented with tiny flowers, sparkles, stars, or small decorative doodles. Add subtle paper texture and a gentle hand-drawn imperfection.

Clothing should look soft and simple, with elegant pastel fabric shapes and tiny decorative embroidery details.

Style inspiration: modern Scandinavian nursery postcards, Korean children's illustration, soft Japanese storybook art, and the delicate Pinterest watercolor sketch aesthetic.
Avoid photo-level realism, realistic facial structure, pronounced jawlines, glossy rendering, cinematic lighting, high contrast, thick outlines, fine finger details, ultra-detailed, 3D rendering, anime style, Pixar style, oil painting texture, complex shadows, or saturated colors.
