Draw the picture from a description

Write who is doing what and where it goes, and name a reference style. The AI draws a new illustration from that.

A photo becomes an illustration

After it is drawn, edit it in the editor

Change one spot. If it still needs to stay sharp when scaled, make it a vector.
