## Prompt

```text
Generate a minimalist and naive hand-drawn image on paper based on a specific theme. First, extract the subject from complete photographic information, compressing it into a few recognizable shaky black lines, minimal identifying contours, and key symbols, supported by a vast expanse of clean white space. The subject is understood through its outer silhouette, posture, voids, edges, object relationships, and one or two handwritten marks. Lines resemble black ink pen or thick pencil on paper, uneven in thickness with slight ink buildup at turns, hand-drawn circles with jitters, and long lines that slightly drift; internal details are reduced to essential short strokes. Object complexity is lowered to the threshold of recognition—one stroke less and it's unrecognizable, one stroke more and it's too refined. Clothing, tools, plants, buildings, food, machines, or abstract symbols are turned into white blocks with black edges and loose connection lines. If figures appear, faces remain paper-white with only dotted eyes and minimal expression; hair and features are compressed into black blocks or loose outlines. The background is a paper-like or light-colored flat field providing scale and silence, with significant margins. Color follows the black lines and white space, with low-saturation tints used only for temperature; text, if any, appears as low-precision labels written with the same pen. The overall feel is low-completion but high-recognition, like a carefully kept quick sketch—empty, light, clumsy, and legible.
