Seedream 4.5 is the reference-stylisation workhorse — it holds the subject's likeness and pose while restyling the whole image as a drawing. Strong at distinct media: graphite sketch, ink linework, watercolour wash, clean coloring-book outlines.
Step 1
A clear photo of the subject — person, pet, building, scene. Seedream uses it as a reference so the drawing keeps the likeness and composition.
Step 2
"Soft graphite pencil sketch with light colour wash" or "clean black-and-white ink line art." Naming the medium precisely beats a vague "make it a drawing."
Step 3
Add "keep the face, pose, and composition the same." Seedream preserves the subject well across a stylised restyle when you tell it to explicitly.
Step 4
Try a different medium, a tighter crop, more or less colour. Every variant lives in the same thread. Download and use them however you want.
Restyle this photo as a soft graphite pencil sketch with a light colour wash — keep the face, pose, and composition the same, visible pencil hatching, paper texture, gentle shading.
Turn this into a clean black-and-white coloring page — bold even outlines, no shading or fill, simple shapes, plenty of white space, suitable for children to colour in.
Anime-style line-art coloring page — clean black outlines, expressive faces, no shading, white background, ready to colour.
When you ask it to. Add "keep the face, pose, and composition the same" to your prompt — Seedream 4.5 preserves the subject well across a stylised restyle. Without that instruction, expect more creative drift.
Pencil sketch, charcoal, ink line art, pen-and-wash, watercolour, comic-book inks, clean coloring-book outlines, and more. The more precisely you name the medium, the closer the result.
Yes. Ask for "clean black-and-white outlines, no shading, white background" and you'll get printable coloring-book line art. Works from a photo or from a text prompt.
