FAQ
- Will the AI draw only half my face?Yes, the prompt explicitly states 'extreme close-up half-face composition (only right half of the face visible)'. The left half should be cropped out of frame.
- How does it turn a photo into ink cross-hatching?The AI analyzes your facial features and redraws them using line-based shading instead of continuous tones. Cross-hatching uses overlapping lines; stippling uses dots.
- Can I change 'YUSUF' to another name?Yes, replace the text in quotes with any uppercase name. Keep the positioning 'on the left side' and 'bold cinematic typography' for consistent layout.
