Style

Charcoal

Drawn, not painted — tone comes from marks on paper, and most of the frame stays white.

Both sample pets are AI-generated demonstration photographs — not customer pets, and not pictures of real animals. Every styled version is one real generation, not a mock-up, and the model draws it differently every time.

The prompt

This is the whole thing, word for word — the same text we send.

Redraw this pet entirely as a charcoal drawing on paper: rich smoky blacks laid down in broad strokes, smudged mid-tones blended with the finger, bright highlights lifted back out with an eraser, and loose expressive marks around the edges of the drawing — this must read as charcoal on paper, never as a grayscale photograph, with no continuous photographic tone anywhere. Keep this exact pet completely recognizable: the same pose, the same body proportions, its unique markings expressed in charcoal tones, the same expression. Place the pet on a plain solid white background, the whole pet inside the frame, with a clearly defined silhouette. The source photo may be poorly lit — render the subject clearly and evenly regardless. No text, no watermark, no signature, no border.

Why the highlighted sentence matters

Image models don't return a transparent background — the picture comes back opaque, and the cut line has to be found again afterwards. A busy or bled-out background is a cut line a factory would sew wrong. That one sentence is what keeps the edge findable.

Why it prints well

One honest note

The two pets above are AI-generated demonstration photographs — not customer pets, and not pictures of real animals. Each styled half is one real pass of this prompt, not a best-of, and AI draws it differently every time: yours will come out in this style, and it will not come out identical to these pictures.
