## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
This is a drawing by my [CHILD AGE, e.g. 6]-year-old. Create a realistic, photo-style version of what they drew, as if it were a real [WHAT THEY DREW, e.g. dragon, house or robot]. Keep every detail from the original: the same number of legs, eyes and wings, the same colors, the same accessories and the same pose, even if they look silly. Don't add anything that isn't in the drawing except a natural background that fits. Make it friendly and fun, not scary. Square format.
```

## Step by step

1. Snap a flat, well-lit photo of the drawing.
2. Attach it in ChatGPT or Gemini and paste the prompt.
3. Ask it to add back any detail it dropped, like a hat or extra legs.
4. Save the original and the new image side by side.

## What you'll get

A realistic image of your child's creation that keeps their quirky details, ready to print or frame next to the original.
