Prompt

A black and white line-art diagram in the style of IKEA assembly instructions. The person depicted in the diagram is the woman from [BASE_IMAGE.png], rendered in this simplified line-art style but recognizable by her hair and features. She is sitting on the floor, looking frustrated, surrounded by pieces of a flat-pack wooden cabinet, dozens of screws floating around her, and holding an Allen key incorrectly. A large 'Question Mark' icon is above her head.

Evaluation Criteria

  • ✓ Likeness in Simplicity: Can you tell it's her even when reduced to simple black lines?
  • ✓ Style Consistency: Does it look exactly like an instruction manual, or just a sketch?
  • ✓ Contextual Emotion: Did it capture the specific emotion of "frustrated furniture builder"?
