How to use this starting point
Prepare your input
Describe the person, pose, expression and crop. For a specific person, use the linked portrait-editing template with an authorised source photo.
What you can change
Change background, pigment grain, crop and palette. Keep the pose stable when testing different painting directions.
Create and review
- Load the style and add your subject description ahead of the gouache texture instructions.
- Choose a compact palette and simplified shapes while keeping the eyes, mouth and expression clearly described.
- Review facial proportions, accessories and the balance between painted texture and readable features.
Limits and troubleshooting
A text-only portrait does not preserve a real identity. If the result becomes overly abstract, request clearer facial landmarks and less shape simplification.
