Morning Serenity on the Balcony

The artwork captures a tranquil moment of a woman enjoying her morning coffee on a balcony. Rendered in a crisp 2D anime style, her likeness is meticulously crafted from the reference to ensure an exact match, surrounded by a softly painted morning cityscape.

FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, slim or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

ART: a clean 2D anime film still - crisp line work, cel shading, painted background - but her face and hair drawn on model from the reference, every feature and proportion exact, the hairline unchanged, eyes their real size, never anime-enlarged. A painted balcony at first light - pale gold sky, potted plants along the rail, a sleepy city soft below, no readable signage anywhere. She stands at the rail in an oversized grey cardigan over pyjamas, a steaming mug held in both hands at chest height, fingers countable, the drawn steam curling sideways and kept off her face. Hair in a loose morning bun, the reference hairline exact. Expression: first-sip serenity, eyes to the viewer with drawn catchlights. She stands angled at the rail so the rising sun sits off-frame camera-right ahead of her; its dawn light keys her face brightest and soft. Vertical 3:4, chest-up. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.

How to use this prompt

To achieve the desired outcome, provide a clear reference photo of the woman whose features need to be replicated. Ensure her face is the focal point, while other elements in the scene contribute to the overall atmosphere. Keep the aspect ratio to a vertical 3:4 format and specify a background incorporating a sunrise and balcony elements. If the face does not closely match the reference, check the anatomical accuracy of highlighted features and adjust accordingly.
