Goal
Transform Input Image 1, a real-life street-fashion photograph, into a refined hand-painted watercolour fashion poster inspired by the visual style and presentation of Input Image 2.
References Input Image 1 — Subject, Clothing & Composition Reference: Use this as the primary reference for the person, face, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, pose, body proportions, utility pole, sidewalk, curb, and other immediate foreground elements. Input Image 2 — Watercolour Style & Presentation Reference: Use this as the primary reference for the watercolour medium, loose brushwork, pigment washes, paper texture, simplified environment, warm-white background, negative space, and editorial fashion-poster aesthetic. Subject Preservation
Preserve the person from Input Image 1 as faithfully as possible.
Keep:
the same person and facial features the same hairstyle and hair colour the same black/dark baseball cap the same grey furry ear-flap hood framing the head the same black oversized bomber jacket the same white collared shirt the same patterned tie the same very loose, oversized beige/cream cargo trousers the same belt and belt details the same small brown waist pouch the same chain accessory attached to the trousers the same chunky black shoes all visible clothing details, seams, pockets, folds, distressing, textures, and proportions
Preserve the person's original body proportions, height, silhouette, posture, head angle, facial expression, arm position, hand position, leg position, and stance.
The person should remain standing and leaning naturally against the utility pole, exactly as in Input Image 1.
Do not redesign the outfit or reinterpret the fashion styling.
Environment Preservation
Retain the immediate foreground environment from Input Image 1, especially:
the large concrete utility pole directly behind the person the pole's visible hardware and attached components the yellow/black markings on the lower part of the pole the curb the immediate sidewalk the road edge nearby pavement details and drainage covers
These elements should remain recognizable but should be converted into the same hand-painted watercolour medium as the person.
Background Transformation
Remove the distant urban background, including:
large building façades distant walls unnecessary architectural details distant pedestrians distracting street objects photographic background clutter
Replace these areas with a clean warm-white / slightly ivory textured-paper background, matching the spacious background of Input Image 2.
Do not create a completely empty cut-out. Allow the immediate pavement, curb, and utility pole to remain around the character so that the subject still feels naturally grounded in the original location.
The transition from the retained foreground environment into the warm-white paper background should be soft, irregular, and painterly, rather than a hard photographic cutout.
Watercolour Treatment
Convert the entire preserved subject and foreground environment into a genuine traditional watercolour painting.
Match the visual language of Input Image 2:
transparent watercolour washes layered translucent pigments loose expressive brushstrokes visible paper grain irregular pigment edges subtle colour bleeding dry-brush marks broken brush textures delicate sketch-like contours simplified but recognizable forms naturally uneven pigment density soft transitions between light and shadow restrained, slightly muted colours handmade editorial illustration quality
The result should look like an artist physically painted the photograph onto textured watercolour paper, not like a digital photograph with a generic watercolour filter.
Maintain enough detail to clearly recognize the person's distinctive clothing and accessories, while allowing edges and textures to become naturally painterly.
Colour Treatment
Preserve the characteristic colours of Input Image 1:
deep black/dark charcoal bomber jacket dark cap cool grey furry hood white shirt brown patterned tie pale beige/cream cargo trousers warm brown leather pouch silver-toned chain black shoes muted grey concrete subdued yellow/black markings on the pole grey pavement
Translate these colours into slightly desaturated watercolour pigments with natural variations in wash intensity.
Keep the black clothing visibly dark, but use layered charcoal, grey, blue-black, and brownish pigment variations rather than a completely flat black fill.
Lighting & Shadows
Retain the basic lighting direction and tonal relationships of the original photograph, but reinterpret them as soft watercolour shading.
Use:
translucent shadows subtle pigment pooling gentle tonal variation soft-edged highlights occasional areas of exposed paper
Avoid glossy photographic highlights, artificial 3D rendering, or hyper-realistic lighting.
Composition
Create a vertical fashion-poster composition.
Keep the person's full body visible, including both shoes, while maintaining approximately the same overall framing and body scale as Input Image 1.
Place the figure prominently in the central area of the poster.
Allow generous warm-white negative space around the upper and outer areas of the composition, similar to Input Image 2.
The retained pavement and curb can extend loosely toward the lower edges of the image, but they should gradually dissolve into the paper background through expressive watercolour washes.
Visual Style
The final image should resemble a contemporary editorial fashion illustration painted traditionally with watercolour on textured paper.
It should combine:
accurate fashion photography composition + faithful clothing preservation + expressive hand-painted watercolour + minimalist poster composition.
The image should feel sophisticated, artistic, slightly raw, and handmade rather than polished like commercial digital artwork.
Important Constraints
Change the medium and distant background, but preserve the subject and essential foreground composition.
Do not:
change the person's identity change the face change the hairstyle change the cap change the furry hood change the jacket change the shirt change the tie change the trousers change the pouch change the chain change the shoes change the clothing colours change the clothing proportions change the body proportions change the pose change the stance change the head direction change the position of the arms or hands change the position of the legs or feet remove the utility pole remove the immediate curb or pavement redesign the outfit add clothing or accessories add people add decorative objects add text add captions add logos add borders add watermarks make the result photorealistic turn the person into an anime, cartoon, comic, or 3D character
Most importantly: preserve the original fashion styling, silhouette, pose, and recognizable foreground objects from Input Image 1 while replacing the distant photographic environment with clean warm-white watercolour-paper space.
Final Output
A vertical premium watercolour fashion poster, PNG format, with the real-life photograph faithfully transformed into a hand-painted editorial illustration inspired by Input Image 2.
