This template uses your photo — add one with the + button.
Using REFERENCE_0 as the sole source image, transform the scene into a loose pen-and-watercolor illustration on white textured paper. Preserve the original pose, framing, suit, tie, and American flag placement, including the face-obscuring rectangle. Remove the photographic stage/background and replace it with plain off-white paper. Render the subject with expressive black ink sketch lines, rough crosshatching, uneven hand-drawn contours, visible watercolor washes, soft bleeding pigments, muted navy/red tones, and lightly unfinished edges. Keep the composition close to the original medium shot and do not add any new objects, text, or background details.
