How to use
Want your photo to become a child's crayon drawing? This prompt redraws your portrait with a wobbly spontaneous line, colour outside the lines, a smiling sun in the corner and all the charm of a drawing pinned to the fridge. It works in Gemini, NanoBanana and ChatGPT.
1. Choose a sharp photo of yourself, front-facing and with good light on your face.
2. Send the image in the same message where you are going to paste the prompt.
3. Paste the whole JSON prompt right below your photo.
4. Ask it to keep your features recognisable, applying the childlike style on top.
5. Generate a few variations until the drawing feels properly spontaneous and cute.
6. Download it in high resolution to print and pin on the fridge for real.
Tip: in the elements field you swap the decorations between sun, clouds, flowers and heart, and in the background you choose between notebook paper and printer paper.
