Minimalist travel journal sketchbook illustration prompt

Please recreate the [original photo] I uploaded into a minimalist travel journal picture book illustration.

The point is not to draw the photo completely, but to substantially refine, delete, and summarize the content of the photo, leaving only the most memorable visual elements of this moment.

Please keep the most core content from the original photo:
- Subject identity characteristics
- Subject's pose, movement, and orientation
- Positional relationship between subjects
- Most recognizable scene elements
- General composition and sense of story of the original photo

But please actively delete most real details, do not completely redraw the entire photo.

Visual Processing Principles
Transform the real photo into:
Minimalist pen line art + journal sketch + light flat color + rough dry brush color blocks + Japanese lifestyle picture book feel + paper illustration with a large amount of white space.
The illustration part must be highly summarized, simple, and restrained, like a small scene quickly recorded in a journal during travel.

Subject Processing
Do not draw people, animals, or subjects very large.
Please significantly shrink the subject and place it in the lower middle or lower-center part of the frame, making the subject like a small memory fragment.
Do not depict facial features in detail for people, do not draw them as beautiful and detailed portrait illustrations.
Retain recognizability through outlines, movements, hairstyles, clothing, and poses.
Keep the breed, coat color, posture, and outline for animals, but still keep it minimalist.

Scene Processing
Only keep the 1–3 most recognizable elements of the scene.
Such as trees, mountains, grass slopes, sea surface, boats, churches, building outlines, clouds, windows, railings, stones, roads, etc.
Scene should not be fully detailed, it can only be summarized with a small amount of lines and color blocks.
Do not keep all complex backgrounds.

Line Style
Use thin, light, natural, slightly jittery and handmade black lines.
Not too many lines, not too dense, not neat, no vector feel, no manga lining feel.
Outlines can be intermittent, relaxed, and simple.

Coloring Method
Colors must be very restrained, using only a small amount of representative colors.
For example:
Sky and sea: blue
Grass and trees: green
Buildings and land: beige, ochre, taupe
Character clothing: extract 1-2 key colors according to the original image
Color expression: Irregular manual flat coating + rough dry brush + partial brushstroke color blocks.
Color blocks should not be filled completely, not too exquisite, do not pursue realistic shadows and delicate smudging. It should feel like 'a few brushstrokes swept on'.

Composition and Layout
The screen background must be warm white / off-white / ivory natural paper base color, with light paper texture.
The main body of the illustration overall occupies only a small area of the frame.
Keep a large amount of white space around, especially at the top and left and right sides.
The overall layout is like a travel picture book, life journal, or a small page by an independent illustrator.
If appropriate, a very small English title or year can be automatically added, but the text must be minimalist, very small, and very light, not mandatory.

Final Vibe
The image should present: quiet, light, gentle, restrained, natural, breathable, paper-like, and with a sense of travel recording.
Not a sophisticated illustration, not a complete scene redraw, but refining the real scene into a simple visual memory symbol.

Strict Restrictions
Do not draw characters as detailed and beautiful portrait illustrations.
Do not keep too many facial details.
Do not draw too many clothing folds.
Do not redraw the background completely.
Do not carefully draw all windows, leaves, buildings, and ground.
No realistic watercolor.
No thick painting.
No commercial illustration feel.
No exquisite 2D anime feel.
No children's cartoon feel.
Do not fill it up.
Do not make it complex.
No 'photo to hand-drawn filter' effect.

**The final effect must be like: from a photo, only the most memorable moments are refined, using very few lines and very few color blocks to record it on a travel journal page with white space.** Please 'compress' the original photo into a minimalist small scene memory, do not make it a full illustration. Delete 70%—85% of the details, keeping only the most critical subjects and scene symbols.
