Prompt

Use my attached photo as the reference image.

Transform it into a nostalgic, childlike crayon drawing — as if drawn from memory by a child who deeply admires this person.

Keep:
- The main facial proportions and features for recognizability
- The same skin tone, hairstyle, expression, and outfit colors

Style:
- Use thick, uneven crayon strokes with visible layering and playful imperfections
- Add slightly exaggerated warmth to the skin tones and clothing hues to evoke joy
- Blend vibrant colors with soft overlapping texture — not perfectly inside the lines
- Capture the feeling of sunlight using gentle yellow-orange shading

Background:
- Keep the general background color, but reinterpret it in a simplified way
- Suggest depth with just a few loose crayon lines and patches of color
- Draw everything on blue-lined notebook paper for an authentic "child's drawing" vibe

Mood:
- The image should feel heartwarming, nostalgic, and innocent
- It should look like a joyful, imperfect memory — full of color and life, rather than technical precision
