Prompt
339 wordsGoal: Create a monochrome anime character reference sheet for {argument name="character name" default="a teenage high school boy"} with one full-body standing pose and exactly 4 separate bust expression variations.
Canvas: Portrait-oriented white canvas, clean empty background, high-resolution black-and-white manga pencil/ink style with soft gray shading and sketchy line-art texture.
Layout: Place 1 full-body character illustration on the left, occupying most of the height. Place exactly 4 bust portraits stacked vertically on the right, evenly spaced from top to bottom. No labels, no captions, no decorative background elements.
Subject details: The character is a slim, average-height Japanese anime high school boy with messy layered black hair, slightly tousled bangs, sharp but youthful eyes, pale skin, and a protagonist-like presence. He wears a summer school uniform: short-sleeved white button-up shirt with subtle wrinkles, loosened dark necktie, gray straight-leg slacks, black belt with metal buckle, and glossy black loafers. The shirt is slightly rumpled and the tie hangs casually to create a natural everyday-student look.
Full-body pose: The full-body figure stands relaxed with one hand in his pants pocket and the other hand lifted near chest height with loose fingers, facing slightly toward the viewer. His expression is calm and faintly smiling.
Expression variations: Include exactly 4 bust portraits on the right: 1) bright laughing smile with eyes closed and open mouth, 2) angry shouting expression with intense eyes and open mouth, 3) sad or troubled expression with downturned eyes and a small frown, 4) confident mischievous smirk with narrowed eyes. Each bust keeps the same hairstyle, uniform shirt, and loosened tie, cropped around the shoulders or upper chest.
Visual style: Detailed shonen manga character art, clean confident linework, delicate crosshatching, expressive hair strands, subtle grayscale shading on clothing folds, polished yet sketch-like character sheet presentation. Keep proportions elegant and natural, with strong facial expressiveness.
Constraints: Use only black, white, and gray tones. Include exactly 5 discrete character drawings total: 1 full-body standing pose plus 4 bust expression portraits. Do not add text, color, props, school background, watermark, signature, or extra characters.About this prompt
