A useful prompt structure is:

For example:

Create a vibrant anime illustration of a teenage girl with long black hair and expressive brown eyes, standing on a school rooftop during sunset. She is wearing a modern school uniform and looking toward the city. Use warm orange and pink tones, soft clouds, detailed background, expressive eyes, and a vertical 9:16 composition.

For editing a personal photograph, use an instruction such as:

Transform the uploaded photo into a modern anime-style portrait. Preserve the person’s recognisable facial features, hairstyle direction, expression, and overall pose. Use expressive anime eyes, clean line art, vibrant colours, soft shading, and a detailed background.

Avoid copying the exact style, characters, logos, or protected designs of any specific anime series. Use original characters and original visual concepts.
