Doodle Collage
Turn one uploaded photo into a single wide landscape image laid out as a
strict 3-column by 2-row grid — six close-up panels in one picture.
When this is the right skill
Pick this skill whenever the user wants more than one version of
themselves from a single photo, framed close-up: a set of expressions, a
contact sheet, a mood board of faces, a “6 panel” or “3x2” request.
Choose a different skill instead when the user asks for:
- one single portrait →
doodle-avatar
- head-to-toe or action poses →
full-body-collage
What to draw
One image, six panels. Every panel shows the same illustrated character
— matching hairstyle, face shape, and outfit translated from the photo into
doodle art — captured in a different candid close-up moment. Vary the pose,
camera angle, and expression from panel to panel while keeping it obviously
the same person.
Hand-drawn doodle overlays (motion lines, sparkles, squiggles, small stars)
run across and between the panels to tie the page together like a scrapbook
spread. See references/grid-layout.md for the panel breakdown and
../doodle-avatar/references/style-guide.md for the shared house style.
How to run it
- Confirm a photo is attached. If none is, ask for one — this skill cannot
run without a subject to redraw.
- Call
generateDoodle with skill: "collage" and the uploaded photo as
imageUrl.
- If the message contains a line like
Reference image: <url>, pass it as
refImageUrl — it is an extra style reference, not the subject.
- Report the result briefly. The app renders the image, so do not repeat
the URL.
Following up
Offer the full-body variant (full-body-collage) as the natural next step,
or a refinement such as fewer overlay doodles or a different palette.
