Cel-Shaded Turn To Camera

Your character sheet, turned to camera: she holds the design, then finds the lens.

The prompt

Match the reference character sheet exactly: same silhouette, same coat, same hair shape, same flat colours. She stands at a rooftop rail with her back to us, coat moving in the wind, then turns her head and shoulders over three seconds until her eyes find the lens. The camera holds one static medium shot throughout, no reframe. Blue-hour side light, city haze behind her. Cel-shaded 2D animation, clean line work, minimal shading.

Why it works

Character sheets are the cheapest way to hold a design across shots, and this prompt repeats the three things that drift first: silhouette, coat and hair shape. The turn is given a duration so it becomes a controlled move rather than a snap, and the eyeline is named so the shot ends on the lens instead of somewhere off frame. Refusing camera movement removes the other common failure, a slow zoom that quietly rescales the drawing.

What to put in the reference image

A character sheet with front, side and back views in flat cel colours, or a single clean full-body drawing. Avoid photographs, heavy shading or half-finished sketches: every stray detail you upload can end up animated into the shot.
