# Get a hilariously bad MS Paint version of any photo for a post

> Your polished headshot comes back as a proud, wobbly mouse drawing that still looks just like you.

## The prompt

```text
Redraw the attached photo as if someone made it in a basic paint program with a mouse in about 30 seconds and was very proud of it. Make it clumsy and scribbly on a plain white background, with wobbly lines, flat colors that spill outside the lines and proportions that are a little wrong. It should still be recognizable as [PHOTO SUBJECT, e.g. me holding my new book], but awkward in a lovable way. Keep any text from the photo, slightly misspelled. Then write 3 funny captions for posting the original and the scribble side by side, written for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. busy small business owners].
```

## Step by step

1. Pick a polished photo, like your headshot, team photo or best product shot.
2. Upload it with the prompt below.
3. Post the original and the scribble side by side with one of the captions.

## What you'll get

A deliberately terrible, scribbly redraw of your photo plus three caption ideas for a before and after post.
