## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded image as the only reference. Keep the person exactly the same, preserving their face, pose, clothing, hairstyle, lighting, colors, and proportions. Remove the original background and recreate the same environment as a {sketch_style} on a {background_color}. The sketch should be quick, playful, imperfect, and confidently hand-drawn with medium-thick strokes, slight wobble, pressure variation, tiny gaps, and marker bleed—not vector art or technical line work. Keep the person 100% photorealistic with no sketch effect or outline applied to them. Place the subject naturally in front of the illustrated background, ensuring all {marker_color} sketch lines remain behind the person. Add a small rounded-corner inset in the bottom-right corner showing the original uploaded photo of the exact same person and scene before the transformation for a clear before-and-after comparison. Ultra-clean editorial style, high resolution, strong contrast between the realistic subject and the bold red sketch, no extra colors, no gradients, and no paper texture.
```
