Positive prompt
A 4:5 vertical watercolor yearbook portrait from the 1990s of the same young person from the reference photo, identity 100% identical, using the uploaded image as the main face and character reference. Same gender as the reference, same apparent age, same facial structure and bone structure, same jawline, nose, eyes, lips and overall facial proportions. Hairstyle shape, volume and direction exactly like the reference photo. Skin tone perfectly matched to the reference image, with the same color, nuances and texture, preserving pores, freckles, moles, scars and natural skin details. Hand‑drawn 90s school yearbook style, nostalgic teenage memories, doodles and scribbles around the portrait, hatching, cross‑hatching, stippling, feathering and soft watercolor washes. Slightly caricature‑like but clearly recognizable as the same person, respecting all facial traits and gender expression from the photo. Saturated yet dusty and slightly faded 90s colors, spongy and scratched textures, muted palette, Milton Glaser‑inspired playful graphic lines and organized color shapes, melancholic, youthful, nostalgic mood, dusty teenage bedroom or school notebook atmosphere, deconstructivist fragmented layout with overlapping shapes and doodles. Bust portrait framing from shoulders/chest up, 4:5 aspect ratio, soft diffused indoor lighting, neutral light preserving true skin color, artistic, cinematic, hand‑drawn illustration look, no text, no words, no letters, no logos, no watermarks, no typographic elements anywhere in the image.
Identity / face / gender constraints
Keep identity 100% identical to the uploaded photo.
Preserve same gender presentation as in the photo, do not feminize or masculinize differently, do not change style of gender expression.
Do not change age, do not make the face younger or older.
Preserve the same bone structure, jawline, cheekbones, nose shape, eye shape, lips shape and overall facial proportions.
Maintain exact hairstyle silhouette, length, volume and direction from the reference.
Match skin tone exactly to the reference (same hue, saturation, value and subtle variations).
Keep the same facial expression and all unique marks (moles, freckles, scars, texture).
Camera / lens / composition
4:5 aspect ratio, vertical portrait.
Framed from shoulders or chest up (bust portrait), centered on the face.
Straight‑on or gentle three‑quarter angle, following the same orientation suggested by the reference photo.
Soft portrait‑like perspective, like an 85mm lens photo transformed into a watercolor/ink drawing.
Lighting
Soft, diffused indoor lighting, similar to a classroom or bedroom window light.
Gentle shadows and highlights that respect the original light direction of the reference photo.
Neutral light, no colored lights, to keep skin tone faithful to the reference.
Background / environment
Simplified background suggesting a dusty teenage room or school notebook context, not hyper‑detailed.
Hand‑drawn doodles, scribbles, sticker‑like shapes, small hearts, stars, arrows and abstract marks around the portrait.
Subtle deconstructivist layout with overlapping frames, torn‑paper shapes and asymmetrical but balanced composition.
