# Family Portrait

Takes a family photo and redraws the entire group as a single illustrated doodle portrait in naive marker-and-ink style. Preserves each person's individual likeness — hair, face shape, height, age, skin tone, glasses, outfit colours — and maintains their exact arrangement and physical contact from the photo. Children stay short, grandparents stay older, pets keep their breed and fur colour. Warm natural family grouping on a warm-white ground.

## When to use it

Use when the user wants a doodle of their whole family — "draw my family", "family portrait cartoon", "family as cartoon characters", "me and my kids", "us as a doodle", "family caricature", "cartoon of my family". Requires a photo with all family members visible. For only two people use couple-doodle instead; for a single person use doodle-avatar.

## How to run it

- Open [Doodle AI](https://doodleai.art/) and attach a photo.
- Ask for it by name — "Family Portrait" — or let the agent pick it from your request.
- Refine in plain language afterwards: "thicker outline", "warmer paper".
