Please recreate the [original photo] I uploaded into a minimalist travel journal picture book illustration.
The point is not to draw the photo completely, but to substantially refine, delete, and summarize the content of the photo, leaving only the most memorable visual elements of this moment.
Please keep the most core content from the original photo:
- Subject identity characteristics
- Subject's pose, movement, and orientation
- Positional relationship between subjects
- Most recognizable scene elements
- General composition and sense of story of the original photo
But please actively delete most real details, do not completely redraw the entire photo.
Visual Processing Principles
Transform the real photo into:
Minimalist pen line art + journal sketch + light flat color + rough dry brush color blocks + Japanese lifestyle picture book feel + paper illustration with a large amount of white space.
The illustration part must be highly summarized, simple, and restrained, like a small scene quickly recorded in a journal during travel.
Subject Processing
Do not draw people, animals, or subjects very large.
Please significantly shrink the subject and place it in the lower middle or lower-center part of the frame, making the subject like a small memory fragment.
Do not depict facial features in detail for people, do not draw them as beautiful and detailed portrait illustrations.
Retain recognizability through outlines, movements, hairstyles, clothing, and poses.
Keep the breed, coat color, posture, and outline for animals, but still keep it minimalist.
Scene Processing
Only keep the 1–3 most recognizable elements of the scene.
Such as trees, mountains, grass slopes, sea surface, boats, churches, building outlines, clouds, windows, railings, stones, roads, etc.
Scene should not be fully detailed, it can only be summarized with a small amount of lines and color blocks.
Do not keep all complex backgrounds.
Line Style
Use thin, light, natural, slightly jittery and handmade black lines.
Not too many lines, not too dense, not neat, no vector feel, no manga lining feel.
Outlines can be intermittent, relaxed, and simple.
Coloring Method
Colors must be very restrained, using only a small amount of representative colors.
For example:
Sky and sea: blue
Grass and trees: green
Buildings and land: beige, ochre, taupe
Character clothing: extract 1-2 key colors according to the original image
Color expression: Irregular manual flat coating + rough dry brush + partial brushstroke color blocks.
Color blocks should not be filled completely, not too exquisite, do not pursue realistic shadows and delicate smudging. It should feel like 'a few brushstrokes swept on'.
Composition and Layout
The screen background must be warm white / off-white / ivory natural paper base color, with light paper texture.
The main body of the illustration overall occupies only a small area of the frame.
Keep a large amount of white space around, especially at the top and left and right sides.
The overall layout is like a travel picture book, life journal, or a small page by an independent illustrator.
If appropriate, a very small English title or year can be automatically added, but the text must be minimalist, very small, and very light, not mandatory.
Final Vibe
The image should present: quiet, light, gentle, restrained, natural, breathable, paper-like, and with a sense of travel recording.
Not a sophisticated illustration, not a complete scene redraw, but refining the real scene into a simple visual memory symbol.
Strict Restrictions
Do not draw characters as detailed and beautiful portrait illustrations.
Do not keep too many facial details.
Do not draw too many clothing folds.
Do not redraw the background completely.
Do not carefully draw all windows, leaves, buildings, and ground.
No realistic watercolor.
No thick painting.
No commercial illustration feel.
No exquisite 2D anime feel.
No children's cartoon feel.
Do not fill it up.
Do not make it complex.
No 'photo to hand-drawn filter' effect.
**The final effect must be like: from a photo, only the most memorable moments are refined, using very few lines and very few color blocks to record it on a travel journal page with white space.** Please 'compress' the original photo into a minimalist small scene memory, do not make it a full illustration. Delete 70%—85% of the details, keeping only the most critical subjects and scene symbols.
请根据我上传的【原始照片】,将照片重新创作为一幅极简旅行手帐绘本插画
重点不是把照片完整画出来,而是把照片内容大幅提炼、删减和概括,只留下这一刻最值得记住的视觉元素
请保留原照片中最核心的内容:
主体身份特征
主体的姿势、动作、朝向
主体之间的位置关系
最有辨识度的场景元素
原始照片的大致构图和故事感
但请主动删掉大部分真实细节,不要完整重绘整张照片
画面处理原则
将真实照片转化为:
极简钢笔线稿 + 手帐速写 + 淡彩平涂 + 粗糙干刷色块 + 日系生活绘本感 + 大量留白的纸本插画
插画部分必须高度概括、简洁、克制,像旅行中在手帐上快速记录下来的一个小场景
主体处理
人物、动物或主体不要画得很大
请将主体明显缩小,放在画面中下部或中央偏下位置,让主体像一个小小的记忆片段
人物不要精细刻画五官,不要画成漂亮细致的人像插画
通过轮廓、动作、发型、服装和姿势保留辨识度即可
动物保留品种、毛色、姿态和轮廓,但仍然极简化
场景处理
场景只保留最有辨识度的1–3个元素
比如树、山、草坡、海面、船、教堂、建筑轮廓、云、窗户、栏杆、石头、道路等
场景不要完整细画,只能用少量线条和少量色块概括。
不要把复杂背景全部保留下来
线条风格
使用细、轻、自然、略带抖动感和手工感的黑色线条
线条不要太多,不要过密,不要工整,不要矢量感,不要漫画勾线感
轮廓可以断续、松弛、简洁
上色方式
色彩必须非常克制,只使用少量代表性色彩
例如:
天空和海面:蓝色
草地和树:绿色
建筑和土地:米色、赭色、灰褐色
人物服装:根据原图提取1–2个重点色
颜色表现方式为:
不规则手工平涂 + 粗糙干刷 + 局部刷痕色块
色块不要填得很完整,不要过于精致,不要追求写实阴影和细腻晕染
要像“几笔刷上去”的感觉
构图与版式
画面背景必须是暖白色 / 米白色 / 象牙白的自然纸张底色,带轻微纸张纹理
插画主体整体只占画面较小区域
四周保留大量留白,尤其上方和左右要有明显空白
整体版式像一本旅行绘本、生活手帐或独立插画师的小画页
如果合适,可以自动加入一行很小的英文标题或年份,但文字必须极简、很小、很轻,不是必须
最终气质
画面要呈现:
安静、轻盈、温柔、克制、自然、有呼吸感、有纸本感、有旅行记录感
不是精致插画,不是完整场景重绘,而是把现实场景提炼成一个简洁的视觉记忆符号
严格限制
不要把人物画成细致唯美的人像插画
不要保留太多脸部细节
不要画太多衣服褶皱
不要完整重绘背景
不要把窗户、树叶、建筑、地面全部认真画出来
不要写实水彩
不要厚涂
不要商业插画感
不要精致二次元感
不要儿童卡通感
不要画满
不要复杂
不要“照片转手绘滤镜”效果
**最终效果必须像:从一张照片中,只提炼出最值得记住的瞬间,用很少的线条和很少的色块,把它记在一张有留白的旅行手帐纸页上。**请把原照片“压缩”为一个极简的小场景记忆,不要做成完整插画。删掉70%—85%的细节,只保留最关键的主体和场景符号。
