## Prompt

```text
Convert the photo into a delicate {illustration_style} with a soft fairytale aesthetic. Use simple elongated shapes, thin imperfect hand-drawn lines, flat pastel colors, minimal detail, and a cute doll-like character style with rosy cheeks, tiny facial features, and simplified anatomy. Add a subtle {surface_texture}, soft pencil and pastel shading, watercolor softness, and a clean white background with small stars or sparkles. The clothing uses a playful storybook style with simplified shapes and gentle decorative details. The overall vibe should feel airy, cozy, innocent, and charming, like a modern Scandinavian nursery postcard or children's book illustration. Avoid photorealism, 3D, cinematic lighting, glossy surfaces, complex shadows, realistic anatomy, and hyper-detail.
```
