When using ReadKidz for children's picture book creation, it is very important to ensure the consistency of illustration characters in the character portrait step!

Before solving this problem, we need to understand the composition of character portraits!

So, how to choose the best character portrait image? We need to pay attention to the following two points!

**The first point**: When creating the character profile page, we need to carefully <mark style="color:purple;">**review the character image description information**</mark>! Then you need to click the small pencil on the character page to <mark style="color:purple;">**enter the character editing page**</mark>!

Please review and write the character information according to the requirements!

① Character skin color (<mark style="color:purple;">**required**</mark>)

② Character hairstyle (<mark style="color:purple;">**required**</mark>)

③ Character facial features (<mark style="color:purple;">**required**</mark>)

④ Character accessories (<mark style="color:purple;">**try not to fill in**</mark>)

⑤ Character clothing (<mark style="color:purple;">**required for human characters, not required for animal characters**</mark>)

**Second point**: <mark style="color:purple;">**Match the prompt words with the character image**</mark> based on the AI-generated image. The higher the match degree between the character image and <mark style="color:purple;">**the prompt words**</mark>, the higher the consistency of <mark style="color:purple;">**the character in the later storyboard pages**</mark>! ( Note: The background of the character image must be pure white! )

For example: We extract the descriptive words of the character portrait and compare them with the character portrait itself.

**Human characters:**

① Skin：<mark style="color:purple;">**white skin**</mark>

② Hairstyle：<mark style="color:purple;">**Brown hair, short hair, straight hair**</mark>

③ Facial features：<mark style="color:purple;">**curved eyebrows, brown yes, button nose, rounded ears, small mouth, round face, full cheeks, soft jawline**</mark>

④ Accessories： <mark style="color:purple;">**no glasses**</mark>

⑤ Clothing：<mark style="color:purple;">**bluet-Decameron, khaki cargo pants, white sneakers**</mark>

⑥ Background color : <mark style="color:purple;">**Pure white background**</mark>

**Animal characters:**

① Skin：<mark style="color:purple;">**white fur**</mark>

② Facial features：<mark style="color:purple;">**Browne yes, pink nose, dragon ears, small mouth, round face**</mark>

Based on the above two points, we can select the optimal character portrait image to promote the stability of character images in children's picture books!
