A doodle drawing is the casual sketch you’d make in the margins if you could draw. This does the pen work for you, from a real photo, so the drawing still looks like the subject.

The look, and steering it

The Normal skill keeps recognizable features and simplifies the rest into a loose drawing. A short prompt helps:

Doodle drawing of me. Loose outlines, flat color. Keep the beard and cap. No text, warm-white background.
