A Storybook Character Sheet, Starting From One Photo
Get the three-view turnaround right first, and the storybook illustrations follow — no need to pile on adjectives to fill the gap.
✍️ The proportions, hairstyle, and clothing across the three views have to stay locked, or the character breaks continuity once it's dropped into the storybook. The underlying idea is simple: build the character reference sheet first, worry about story scenes second.
📋 Prompt Natural Language
Process each uploaded photo one at a time: for the person in each photo, generate a matching virtual character turnaround with three consistent poses (front, side, and back view), using rounded linework and bright, cheerful colors in a storybook-style illustration aesthetic — the brushwork should keep a hand-drawn feel rather than going overly realistic. Keep proportions, hairstyle, and clothing details consistent across all three views, so they can later be dropped into the same storybook, and so they also work well as illustrated cards for children's English-learning material.
