Pick a photo taken out and about
Look for a full or half-body shot on a street, at a café terrace or by a shop window. A coffee cup or similar small item in hand is optional and gets drawn with you.

Photo to Doodle Character: How to Make the Street Version
Prompt versions of this effect need careful wording to stop the model drawing over the background. The template already limits the pencil to you, so the steps are mostly about the photo.

Three steps to a street doodle
Upload it to the one slot
There are no style choices, sliders or prompts. The doodle is ready in about a minute and saved to your assets.
Line it up with the original
Because pose, scale and position are kept, the photo and the doodle sit almost on top of each other, which suits a swipe or split-screen comparison. Add any words yourself, since the image comes without them.
How to make it
Your street portrait, with you redrawn as a pencil doodle. Add one clear photo; the look is already set.
