Prompt

2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for 4 iconic scientists: E₁  INK SKETCH PORTRAIT (master)   a loose hand‑drawn ink portrait (crosshatch/sketch lines) of the subject, instantly        recognizable by their signature features (hair, glasses, mustache / unibrow + flower crown / slicked hair); the hero.        ¬E₁ = photoreal portrait / generic face / clean vector portrait / unrecognizable.  E₂  IDEA‑DOODLE ORBIT   surrounding doodle icons each representing one of the subject's ideas/works/discoveries (atom,        spacetime funnel, planet, coils, monkeys, quill); recognizable symbols, not random clipart.   ¬E₂ = random doodles / doodles unrelated / none.  E₃  HIGHLIGHTER‑SWIPE NAME   the subject's name in giant handwritten/marker lettering laid over a single highlighter        swipe/stroke — the ONE accent color; dominant and legible.   ¬E₃ = clean font name / no swipe / multiple accents / small name.  E₄  INK‑ON‑AGED‑PAPER DISCIPLINE   black ink on aged/cream speckled paper; monochrome + the single highlighter accent        only; no gradients, no photoreal.   ¬E₄ = color / gradient / clean digital white / photoreal.  E₅  MARGIN EQUATION/NOTE SCRIBBLES   small handwritten equations/notes/symbols scattered in the margins from the        subject's own field (E=mc², AC frequency, "VIVA LA VIDA"); legible‑ish, never lorem.   ¬E₅ = empty margins / lorem / printed text.  η   HONEST SKETCH   crosshatch density variation, ink speckle, paper grain, line wobble.  FORBIDDEN = photoreal portrait · generic face · random doodles · clean font name · no swipe · multiple accents · gradient · lorem margins · empty margins
