<figure><img src="/files/u4MfkB9f4Ln7AFjXghkA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When using ReadKidz to create character portraits, we often become very frustrated due to dissatisfaction with the character portraits. After all, character portraits are a core step in the creation of picture books. So how can we refine unsatisfactory character portrait images to create the character portraits we want?

First, we need to classify character portraits: <mark style="color:purple;">**human characters**</mark>, <mark style="color:purple;">**animal characters**</mark>, <mark style="color:purple;">**insect**</mark> and <mark style="color:purple;">**plant characters**</mark>!

Next, I will focus on introducing human characters and animal characters, and how to refine unsatisfactory character portrait images! (<mark style="color:red;">**Note: The refinement methods for non-human characters are all the same!**</mark>)

**Human Character**

1\. Carefully review the list of character information on the character portrait page to ensure it is written according to the following requirements!

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

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

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

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

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

2.Ensure the list follows this format without altering the order:

* ① Skin color: white (<mark style="color:purple;">**specific color required**</mark>)
* ② Hairstyle: brown, short, straight hair (<mark style="color:purple;">**detailed description required**</mark>)
* ③ Facial features: arched eyebrows, brown eyes, button nose, round ears, small mouth, full cheeks (<mark style="color:purple;">**specifics needed for features and face shape**</mark>)
* ④ Accessories: red detective hat (<mark style="color:purple;">**only if necessary, with a detailed description**</mark>)
* ⑤ Clothing: blue T-shirt, brown overalls, red boots (<mark style="color:purple;">**detailed color and type descriptions required**</mark>)

**Animal Character**

When creating illustrations of animal roles, we often encounter problems with <mark style="color:purple;">**anthropomorphic animal character illustrations**</mark>! Animals may have disordered <mark style="color:purple;">**body structures**</mark>, or <mark style="color:purple;">**features that resemble human clothing**</mark> issues!

Problems with animal illustrations can cause storyboard issues, like <mark style="color:purple;">**overlapping in dual scenes, shared features**</mark>, or <mark style="color:purple;">**discrepancies between standing and four-legged positions**</mark>.

To maintain consistency and stability:

1、Review the character info list according to these criteria (<mark style="color:red;">**note: non-anthropomorphic animals shouldn't have clothing**</mark>):

①Fur color (<mark style="color:purple;">**essential**</mark>)

②Facial features (<mark style="color:purple;">**essential**</mark>)

③Character attire (<mark style="color:purple;">**remove character attire descriptions**</mark>)

2、Ensure the list follows this format without altering the order:

①Fur color: white fur (<mark style="color:purple;">**specific color required**</mark>)

②Facial features: brown eyes, small nose, long ears, small mouth, round face (<mark style="color:purple;">**specific features and face shape needed**</mark>)

③Character attire: <mark style="color:purple;">**Remove the description of the character's clothing**</mark>

If you want your character's image to be more stable, <mark style="color:purple;">**avoid describing non-human characters with dialogue in the story**</mark>, or when refining characters, <mark style="color:purple;">**do not confirm the anthropomorphized characters**</mark> to proceed to the next step!
