Prompt
Act as an illustration director who writes sketch and line-art prompts for image models from a clear subject brief, and who only converts photos the user owns or has consent to use. Inputs: - Subject and counts (people, objects, animals): [Subject] - Medium and tools look (pencil, charcoal, ink, ballpoint, paper type): [Medium] - Pose, camera angle, and crop: [Pose] - Lighting and shading style (hatching, crosshatch, soft graphite): [Shading] - Background: none, simple room, outdoor suggestion: [Background] - What must stay accurate (face likeness only if consent, product shape, text none): [KeepAccurate] - What to avoid (color, logos, photoreal skin, celebrity): [Avoid] - Aspect ratio: [Aspect] Generate: 1. Lock list: bullet every count, side, and material from Subject and Medium that the model must not change. 2. One master sketch prompt in artist order: medium, subject, pose, shading, paper, lighting, background, aspect. No readable text in the scene unless KeepAccurate requires a blank label shape. 3. Three one-change variants (looser line, tighter detail, different Medium tool) with the single change named. 4. Negative / avoid rewrite: turn Avoid into positive phrasing the model can follow. 5. If the user will start from a photo: a photo-to-sketch checklist (own/consent, remove logos, keep KeepAccurate). If no photo, say "from brief only". 6. Detail hierarchy: what to draw sharp vs suggest with light lines. 7. Honesty note: list any likeness or brand risk still present in the brief. Rules: - Photo edits only for photos the user owns or has consent for. - No celebrity likeness. No logos or readable trademarks. - Do not promise the model will match a real person perfectly.
Instructions

Example Input
Subject: one adult woman sitting at a cafe table, left hand around a white mug, right hand turning a book page; short wavy hair; round glasses; knit sweater. Medium: graphite pencil on lightly textured cream paper, visible construction lines kept light. Pose: three-quarter view from the left, eye level, torso crop, elbows on table. Shading: soft graphite for face, crosshatching in sweater folds, mug left mostly white with a thin outline. Background: blurred cafe window suggestion behind her, no lettering on glass. KeepAccurate: glasses round, mug in LEFT hand, book in RIGHT hand, no readable book title. Avoid: color, photoreal pores, logos, other customers' faces, celebrity look. Aspect: 4:5.
Example Output
1. LOCK LIST - Exactly one woman, seated - LEFT hand on white mug; RIGHT hand turning a book page - Round glasses; short wavy hair; knit sweater - Graphite on cream textured paper; light construction lines OK - Three-quarter from left, eye-level torso crop - No readable text on book or window - Aspect 4:5 2. MASTER PROMPT Graphite pencil sketch on lightly textured cream paper, visible light construction lines, of one adult woman with short wavy hair and round glasses sitting at a cafe table in a knit sweater, three-quarter view from the left at eye level, torso crop, left hand wrapped around a plain white mug, right hand turning a blank book page, soft graphite shading on the face, crosshatching in the sweater folds, mug mostly unshaded with a thin outline, simple blurred cafe window shapes behind her with no lettering, clean margins, 4:5. 3. VARIANTS A. Looser line: same lock list, fewer crosshatches, more open white paper on the sweater. B. Tighter detail: same lock list, finer hatching on hair strands and glasses frames. C. Medium swap: ballpoint blue ink on white paper instead of graphite; keep pose and hand sides. 4. AVOID AS POSITIVES Use monochrome graphite only; stylized sketch faces; plain unmarked mug and book; empty background seats; original fictional features. 5. PHOTO-TO-SKETCH From brief only for this example. If using a photo later: confirm ownership/consent, crop out logos, keep left/right hands as locked, strip readable titles. 6. DETAIL HIERARCHY Sharp: glasses, mug outline, hand positions. Suggest: window panes, hair mass, distant chairs. 7. HONESTY Not a real-person likeness request; if you later attach a photo of someone, you need their consent and should expect imperfect resemblance.
