Facebook’s viral sketch profile trend: here’s how to join

A new trend has spread on Facebook—making your profile look like a child's hand-drawn colorful picture. These pictures, filled with crayons, flowers, stars, clouds, and candy, look like they came out of a ten-year-old's notebook. But they were actually created by artificial intelligence or AI.

No extra skills are required to do the job. All you have to do is take a screenshot of your Facebook profile and send it to the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT. You will need to provide instructions along with it.

How to do it

First, take a screenshot of your Facebook profile. Then open ChatGPT, attach the image, and write and send the following instructions:

"Please recreate the entire image in a crayon drawing style. Simplify the details so that it looks like it was drawn by a 10-year-old child. Do not use the original colors from the image. Make the overall look feel like it was drawn on a sheet of white paper, with a very cute and playful vibe. You can add adorable elements such as flowers, candies, stars, clouds, etc., to give it a childlike and innocent feel."

If you want to customize the image according to your mood or preferences, write in the place of the last sentence: "You can add elements that match my vibe. My vibe:" and add a few words of your choice there—such as 'mysterious', 'nature lover', or 'bookworm'.

Within a few seconds, ChatGPT will create a childish, colorful version of your profile, which can be posted on Facebook.

Users from different countries around the world, including Bangladesh, have already caught on to this trend. New hand-drawn profiles are being added to social media every day.
