Transform the uploaded photo into a character drawn in the Disney Classic animation style from the mid-20th century. The final image should feel like a frame from an original hand-inked and painted cel animation.
Style and visual elements:
Face and expression: Large, soft eyes with dark pupils, gentle white highlights, and slight gloss to evoke emotion. Eyebrows are thin, arched, and expressive. Expression should be tender, curious, or slightly concerned—typical of classic Disney charm.
Lines: Clean black ink outlines that vary in thickness (thicker on the outside edges, thinner on inner details), mimicking traditional cel animation inking.
Color palette: Warm, naturalistic colors with subtle tonal variations. Use hand-painted-style gradients on the character to create gentle depth—no harsh shadows.
Shading: Soft cell shading with very light gradients. Shadows should look like they were hand-applied with brush and watercolor-like blending.
Body and posture: Proportions are slightly rounded and soft. The figure should appear grounded and gentle—no exaggeration or distortion. Think of realistic animal or human anatomy simplified for warmth.
Background: Painted-style background with watercolor texture or a pastel sky and ground surface. Include simple elements like a fuzzy rug or lightly brushed floor, done in painterly strokes.
Eyes and features: Soft eye shine, rounded snout (for animals), smooth cheeks, and fluid line transitions. Classic Disney emotion should be conveyed through subtle tilts or expressive postures.
Texture: Use a faint paper grain or cel overlay to mimic traditional animation cells. Add visible hand-painted imperfections for authenticity.
Overall tone: Wholesome, emotional, vintage Disney. The result should feel like it belongs in a heartfelt scene from Lady and the Tramp or The Aristocats—softly lit, emotionally rich, and visually warm.
