How it is made

The Doodle Portrait AI prompt and model

Doodle Portrait AI is made with GPT Image 2.5 by OpenAI. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.

Model: GPT Image 2.5
Mode: Photo to still image
Length: One 2:3 still image
Input: 1 photo

Keep the photo The street, café or window and every passer-by stay exactly as photographed.
Redraw one person Only the main person becomes a coloured pencil doodle with an ink outline.
Your details Hair, glasses, clothes, bag and what you hold come from your photo.
Sit in the scene Same pose and size, real objects overlapping the doodle, a thin ground shadow.
Rules One doodle, adults only, five fingers, no text, no frame, no collage.

How it opens

Edit Image 1 into one 2:3 portrait photograph. Keep the whole photo exactly as it was taken: the street, the café terrace or the shop window…

Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself

If you ask for a doodle without saying the rest stays a photograph, the model redraws the whole street too.
Without a likeness rule, the doodle turns into a generic cartoon girl or boy with your hair colour only.
A doodle with no shadow and nothing overlapping it looks like a sticker laid on top of the picture.
With several people in the photo, a loose prompt redraws everyone or merges two faces.

What is the Doodle Portrait AI trend?

Updated November 1, 2026 · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.

The doodle portrait is an AI picture that mixes two layers: a real photograph of a street, a café terrace or a shop window, and a hand-drawn coloured pencil version of the person sitting or standing in it. The scene keeps its real light, real taxis and real passers-by, while the person looks like a character cut out of a sketchbook and placed into the frame, with the same hair, glasses, jacket, bag and coffee cup as in the photo.

The look appears on AI image tools as a 2:3 portrait trend called Doodle Portrait, and the same idea circulates on TikTok and Instagram as a pencil doodle of yourself in a real photo. We could not identify an original creator or a single viral post for this exact name, and no first-posted date is confirmed. A close relative, the crude MS Paint style doodle photo, spread through ChatGPT in 2026, but that one redraws the whole picture, while this one only redraws the person.

videosi makes it from one photo of you: out on a street, on a café terrace or beside a shop window, ideally with a cup or small prop in your hand. The model keeps the background as photographed, redraws only you as a coloured pencil doodle with an ink outline and blushed cheeks, and returns one vertical 2:3 image. You do not write a prompt.

The picture on this page is a result shown on a competing tool's trend page, used here only to show the look; videosi has no clips from social posts for it yet. As of 1 November 2026 the trend is still early, so expect the look to change as creators try variations.

Tips for a better result

Show your upper body
Hands, bag and cup are drawn from your photo, so keep them in the frame.
Pick a scene with atmosphere
A busy street, a wooden café table or a shop window gives the doodle something real to sit in.
Use a sharp, evenly lit photo
Blurry or backlit pictures lose the face details that make the doodle look like you.
One person is the main subject
With a group photo only one person is redrawn, so crop to yourself first.

Good to know before you make a Doodle Portrait AI image

The result is a still image, not a video, and it has no sound.
The look is a coloured pencil doodle; you cannot pick another drawing style on this page.
The doodle is a likeness drawn from your photo, so fine details such as jewellery or tattoos can change.
A failed or blocked generation returns its credits automatically.

Is there a TikTok filter or CapCut template for the doodle portrait?

A CapCut tutorial for a marker doodle portrait exists, but it is a different look that redraws the whole photo. We found no TikTok filter for this exact trend in November 2026. videosi is independent and returns 1 image from your photo on a separate web page.

What is the doodle portrait prompt?

The usual prompt asks the model to keep the street photo untouched and redraw only the person as a coloured pencil doodle with an ink outline. videosi keeps its exact 1 prompt private and applies it for you, so the only input is your photo.

What AI model makes the doodle portrait?

The videosi page runs on GPT Image 2.5, an image model made by OpenAI, with your photo as the only source for the person. It returns 1 vertical 2:3 still at about 1K. The full prompt stays private; the structure and the usual mistakes are in the how it is made section.

How much does a doodle portrait cost?

One doodle portrait costs 1 credit on videosi. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and do not expire. There is no free generation on this page. Purchases are final, and a failed generation returns its credits automatically.

Why doesn't the doodle look like me?

A doodle drawn from a small, blurry or backlit photo loses the face. Use 1 sharp, evenly lit picture where your face is at least a few hundred pixels wide, with glasses, hair and clothes visible, and generate again. Each videosi try costs 1 credit.

Can I turn the whole photo into a doodle instead?

Not on this page. The doodle portrait keeps the background as a photograph and redraws only 1 person. A full crude or MS Paint style doodle of the whole picture is a different trend, so the videosi result stays half real, half drawn.

Can I use a photo of someone else, a pet or my family?

Use photos of adults who agreed, such as yourself or a friend. The page is built for 1 main person; in a group photo only that person is redrawn and the others stay photographic. Pets are not supported on the videosi page.
