prompt

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact two people in the attached photo - copy each face feature for feature, his facial hair as the reference, never swapping or averaging the two.

STYLE: a two-part keepsake stacked vertically with no border between the halves. TOP HALF: a clean real photograph. BOTTOM HALF: the same moment redrawn as a soft watercolour illustration on cream paper - looser, simplified, generous paper around it.

THE MOMENT, identical in both halves: They stand at a balcony rail watching the first rain fall on a green street, a dripping awning above. She is in a teal cotton churidar with the dupatta pinned at both shoulders and never over the head, he in a white shirt; Heads at clearly different heights, neither face overlapping. Each holds a glass of tea low at chest height, well below the chin, fingers countable.

FACE IN BOTH HALVES: in the photographic half the face is PHOTO-TRUE with real skin texture and clear catchlights. In the illustrated half it is simplified but drawn to the reference's exact proportions - same hairline, brow shape, eye size and spacing, nose, lips and jaw - unmistakably the same person, never a generic face. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts.

One text only: First Rain in fine handwritten script beneath the illustration, spelled exactly F, i, r, s, t, space, R, a, i, n, with a small raindrop flourish beside it, clear of every face and touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere.

CHECK: both faces must match their own reference in both halves.

About this look

This artwork harmoniously combines a real photograph and a watercolour illustration, offering dual perspectives on a shared moment. The first half is a precise photo, highlighting the couple's features with natural skin textures and vivid colors as they take in the rainfall. Below, the watercolour version translates this scene into a softer, more abstract representation, maintaining the distinct likenesses of the couple as they stand with tea in hand, their expressions of joy illuminated by the freshness of the rain.

How to use this prompt

To create this artwork, supply a high-resolution photograph of the couple that matches the criteria for facial features. Ensure clear visibility of their faces as the prompt demands exact replication in both the photo and the illustrated section. The prompt also stipulates a specific moment with distinct poses and details, so focus on capturing their expressions and posture accurately. Adjust the illustrated version for any discrepancies in style or detail after generating the images.
