Description
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into an artist’s illustration page for an independent publication. The top half shows the original photo; the bottom half keeps only one theme, one emotion, and one metaphor. The subject stays near the center, with rounded forms and naive lines. Preserve irregular edges, paint coverage, paper texture, and hand-drawn imperfections. Avoid complex backgrounds, multiple narrative elements, and digitally perfect results.

Why we love this skill
Condenses user photos into a small folk-art painting with generous negative space: a single subject, flat color blocks, and irregular handmade edges, preserving paper texture and naïveté while avoiding complex narratives and digital perfection.

Imagexiaoxiaodong P151 | Naïve Flat Sketch
Ideal for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition studies, and lifestyle visual projects. Even when the original photo has an ordinary composition, a cluttered background, or a small subject, you can reestablish the focal point through reduction, reorganization, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. The lower section extracts only the most recognizable subjects, contours, structures, gestures, and narrative relationships from the photo. It then makes new artistic judgments and reconstructs them in a Naïve Illustration + Flat Character Illustration + Hand-drawn Doodle style. Do not copy the photo in full or redraw every object individually, and do not retain the complete background. Actively remove most unrelated information, leaving only the structures, visual direction, and visual memory cues that best represent the spirit of the original. Recreate them with highly simplified geometric forms, irregular organic color blocks, and a minimal number of hand-drawn lines, so viewers can immediately recognize their correspondence with the photo above.
Imagexiaoxiaodong P125 | Crayon Zine
Suitable for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition practice, and lifestyle visual projects. Even when the original composition is ordinary, the background is cluttered, or the subject is small, you can reestablish a visual focus through subtraction, reorganization, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. The lower section extracts only the most recognizable subjects, outlines, structures, poses, and narrative relationships from the photo, then reconstructs them as a digitally simulated, childlike hand-drawn illustration with crayon or oil pastel texture. Do not copy the photo in full, redraw every object individually, or retain most of the background and unrelated elements. Remove irrelevant details and keep only the structures, lines of movement, and visual cues that best represent the original subject. Through simplification, subtraction, and reorganization, make the connection between the illustration and the photo above immediately recognizable.
Imagexiaoxiaodong P134 | Color Tale
Suitable for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition exercises, and lifestyle visual creation. Even when the original composition is ordinary, the background is cluttered, or the subject is too small, you can reestablish a visual focus through reduction, recombination, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. The lower section extracts only the most recognizable subjects, outlines, structures, gestures, and narrative relationships from the photo, reconstructing them as naïve hand-drawn mixed-media picture-book illustrations / Naïve Mixed-media Picture-book Illustration. Do not reproduce the photo in full, redraw every object individually, or retain all objects and the background. Remove irrelevant details and keep only the visual cues that best represent the original subjects and theme. Re-express them through simplified forms, handmade marks, color-block recombination, and negative space, so viewers can immediately recognize the connection to the photo above.
