Creating a Character Reference Sheet in Nano Banana 2 / Pro.

If you are creating characters—for videos, comics, games, or animations—you will eventually face the problem of the character ‘drifting.’ In one frame, they look one way, and in another, they look different.

The solution: create a reference sheet where the character is captured in full—full height (front, side, back), head angles, and key details (clothing, shoes, textures).

Prompt:

Use the uploaded image as the primary reference and match the character exactly: preserve the same face, hairstyle, body proportions, outfit, colors, and materials, do not redesign or invent new details, identity consistency is the top priority; create a clean professional character design board on a pure white background in landscape format; on the left place three full-body turnaround views of the same character (front, left side, back) in a neutral standing pose with arms relaxed, eye-level camera, studio lighting, full body visible, no cropping or distortion; on the upper right place six head reference views (front portrait, top-tilted showing hair parting, back of head, left profile, 3/4 view, near-side portrait) with identical facial structure and hair; on the lower right place six close-up detail views (upper clothing texture, lower clothing front, hip/tailoring detail, leg or skin detail, eyes/facial detail, shoes), all strictly corresponding to the source; overall style minimal, sharp, clean, well-spaced, modeling-reference quality, no text, no labels, no logo, no watermark, no UI, no props, no extra elements.

Essentially, you receive a character technical passport and can pass it on to another person, use it in different scenes, and scale the project for different platforms.
