The prompt

Use my photo. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, proportions, expression and hairstyle, so people recognise me instantly. Turn it into a hand-drawn graphite pencil sketch: - Paper: off-white textured sketchbook paper, slightly visible grain. - Lines: confident outline strokes, cross-hatching for shadows, softer blended shading on the cheeks and neck. - Detail: the most detail in the eyes, nose and mouth; looser, sketchier strokes toward the shoulders and clothes, fading out at the edges. - Tones: a full range from light grey to deep graphite black; leave the brightest highlights as bare paper. - Extras: a few faint construction lines and a smudge or two, like a real artist's page. Format: keep my original framing, or [4:5 / 1:1]. Avoid: colour, a photo-filter look, digital smoothness, a changed face shape, text, signatures, watermarks.
