Redraw the Attached Image in Clumsy MS Paint Style
Try the viral ChatGPT image prompt: redraw an uploaded image in the most clumsy, scribbly, utterly pathetic way possible, like it was made in MS Paint with a mouse.
The trend asks an image model to ignore polish and redraw the uploaded picture as if someone opened MS Paint, grabbed a mouse, and tried their best for about thirty chaotic seconds. The appeal is the contrast: recognizable subjects, terrible lines, flat colors, and awkward little details that somehow make the image funnier.
The prompt works best in image-to-image mode because the model needs a real reference to redraw.
The style is not polished pixel art. It should feel clumsy, uneven, scribbly, and mouse-drawn.
A plain white canvas and rough outlines help sell the MS Paint look.
