Copy the exact prompt behind Minimalist Hand-Drawn Ink Sketch, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Around the specific subject matter, generate a minimalist, naive-looking hand-drawn paper image. First strip the subject out of full photo-like information, compressing it into a few shaky black lines that are still recognizable, a minimal identifying outline, and a small number of key symbols, then let a large area of clean empty space hold it up. The subject should be read through its outer outline, posture, holes, edges, the relationships between objects, and one or two handwritten marks; the lines should look like they were drawn on paper with a black ink pen or a thick pencil, uneven in thickness, with a slight buildup of black ink at turns, circles carrying the slight wobble of a shaky hand, long lines drifting slightly, and only the necessary short strokes kept for internal detail. The complexity of the object should be reduced to the critical threshold of recognizability — one less stroke and it becomes hard to identify, one more stroke and it becomes too refined. Clothing, tools, plants, buildings, food, machines, or abstract symbols should all be converted into white planes, black edges, loosely connected lines, and one small feature that best conveys its identity. If a person appears, the face should stay paper-white, using only dot-like eyes, a short nose line, and minimal expression; hair, beard, clothing folds, hands, and feet should all be compressed into blacked-in blocks, broken lines, or loose outlines, making the person feel like a remembered symbol rather than a portrait. The background is a paper field or a flat light-colored field, serving the function of breathing room, scale, and quiet viewing, with clear empty space kept above and around it; a single subject sits in the middle or slightly lower area, while multi-element content is compressed into a low horizontal band of relationships, strung together with a few trembling baselines, keeping the empty space above silent. Color should be subordinate to the black lines and the empty space: white or near-white occupies the largest area, black lines hold structural authority, low-saturation pale colors are used only for grouping shapes and setting emotional temperature, and small areas of warm or dark color serve only as semantic emphasis; the fill color should be slightly uneven, with edges slightly offset from the outline, preserving the paper-white showing through, grain, and a hand-applied feel. If text appears, it should look like a low-precision label or small note written on the surface of the object with the same black pen — the letterforms uneven, the spacing loose, slightly misaligned, but still legible; the text belongs to the object itself rather than to an external layout. Overall, maintain the tension between a low level of finish and clear recognizability, like a casual doodle that was drawn with care — empty, light, clumsy, and legible, with a slight scanned-paper feel, ink residue, broken lines, repeated tracing marks, and uneven coloring marks.
