FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact man in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone, same facial hair as the reference. Never beautify or reshape the face.

STYLE: a two-part keepsake stacked vertically. TOP HALF: a clean real photograph. BOTTOM HALF: the same moment redrawn as a small, simple, cute illustration - flat soft colour, minimal line, generous cream paper around it, a caption in fine handwritten script beneath. The two halves sit edge to edge with no border between them.

Both halves show the same moment: him standing on a garden path under a flowering tree in a white kurta, hands easy at his sides. In the illustrated half he is simplified but still clearly the same person. Vertical 3:4.

The face is drawn to the reference's exact proportions - same hairline, brow shape, eye size and spacing, nose, lips and jaw - recognisable at a glance, eyes their real size and never enlarged, never a generic stylised face. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts, no extra limbs or duplicated features. One text only: Sunday Morning, spelled exactly S, u, n, d, a, y, space, M, o, r, n, i, n, g, clear of every face and touching nothing. No other lettering.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear face photo of the exact man to match, ensuring the reference's facial features are prominently visible. The prompt requires capturing an exact likeness in both photograph and illustration styles, so high-resolution images are essential. Ensure the final design includes the caption 'Sunday Morning' with specified spacing and no additional text. Adjust details in the illustration if the facial likeness isn't recognizable or if edges appear less clean than intended.
