Prompt Text

A hyper-realistic, soft graphite pencil sketch illustration with selective color, capturing the likeness, facial features, expression, age, and long black hair of the woman from image_0.png. The subject is a bust-to-half-body portrait, centrally framed against a minimal, off-white drawing paper background with subtle texture and faint pencil strokes. The entire face, hair, hands, and visible skin are rendered in grayscale (black and white graphite), showcasing extremely detailed HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B pencil shading, cross-hatching, soft blending, feather shading, and smooth tonal transitions to create a hand-drawn, museum-quality fine art appearance. Individual hair strands are visible. Selective color is applied only to her clothing (the multi-colored dupatta and pink kameez), which is rendered in a matte, watercolor-like soft dusty rose pink and muted lavender, with the original floral and geometric patterns and textures detailed in graphite and color. Small, natural catchlights are present in her eyes. The lighting is soft, diffused studio light. The composition is elegant and calm, resembling a luxury editorial sketch. Shot on a Canon EOS R5, 85mm lens. 8K resolution, high fidelity, masterwork, photorealistic pencil drawing. No face swapping or beauty filters.
