Style prompt

The graphic image relies on bold, nearly uniform black outlines densely interlocked over a white ground. Simplified icons, loops and angular marks create a continuous high-contrast field, while one broad solid dark mass gives the eye a resting point. Flat frontal light leaves the linework crisp and the pale gaps clear. Repetition and overlap build energetic rhythm without modeled depth. The effect is playful, direct and visually crowded.

Full example prompt

A square graphic portrait shows a dark-clad figure standing with folded arms before a wall packed edge to edge with black doodles. The figure is centered low in the frame, wearing a plain black top and round glasses, with pale short hair and a direct upward gaze. The monochrome wall behind is almost entirely covered by thick black outlines: smiling faces, simplified bodies, eyes, curved arrows, small boxes and energetic abstract marks fit together with very little open paper. Some symbols overlap while others share borders, creating a continuous visual field. The figure's black clothing forms a calm solid shape against the restless line pattern. Light is even and frontal, making the pale face and hands legible without strong cast shadows. The doodles remain flat and graphic; their line width is bold and consistent, with white gaps acting as color rather than deep space. The lower edge is darker where the figure merges with the wall's black marks. The image juxtaposes photographic or carefully rendered human presence with spontaneous-looking street-art drawing. Despite the enormous density of marks, the center stays readable because the face and folded arms form a simple dark-and-light arrangement. The overall composition is busy, playful and confrontational, using repeated icons and high black-white contrast around a still central pose.
