It's all about trends on social media- and after Ghibli, 3D figurines, we now have a throwback to our childhood as one! The crayon trend is picking up pace in the last few days.

The trend is all about using certain AI prompts and converting your Instagram feed (or any picture) into a crayon artwork. Multiple brands and even production houses have jumped on this trend train so far- Shah Rukh Khan's fan page, his production house Red Chillies Entertainment, Ajay Devgn's Devgn Films, RSVP Movies, Voltas, Miraj Cinemas, PVR Cinemas, Skoda India, among many others.

“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. or Replace last line with this: You can add elements that matches my vibe. My vibe: (some words)”
Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
