Graphite Portraits

Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

The complete prompt

Use the uploaded photo as the ONLY face and identity reference. Create a highly detailed, realistic graphite pencil portrait of the EXACT SAME MAN. STRICT IDENTITY LOCK: preserve his exact face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, eye spacing, nose, lips, moustache, jawline, chin, cheeks, skin proportions and all distinctive facial features. Do NOT beautify, redesign, masculinize, idealize, or replace his face.

Create a refined hand-drawn graphite portrait on slightly warm white textured drawing paper. Bust-up composition, natural three-quarter pose, shoulders slightly turned while the face looks toward the viewer. Preserve realistic masculine anatomy and expression.

Transform only the visual medium into premium realistic graphite pencil artwork. Detailed pencil strokes, smooth tonal transitions, realistic skin texture, sharp eyes, natural eyebrows, detailed moustache, realistic hair strands, deep graphite shadows and subtle highlights.

Give the man thick, natural, slightly wavy voluminous hair with individually rendered strands and realistic depth. Keep the face monochrome graphite.

Clothing should have a rich muted burnt-orange/terracotta tone with realistic fabric folds and texture. Everything else remains black-and-white graphite. Let the colored clothing gradually dissolve into artistic graphite/color drips near the lower edge.

Show the complete paper sheet lying diagonally on a dark charcoal artist desk, photographed from a slightly elevated overhead angle. Add a few naturally cropped pencils around the edges. Soft diffused daylight, subtle paper shadow, visible paper grain and authentic pencil texture.

Photorealistic photograph of a premium traditional hand-drawn graphite portrait. Elegant editorial aesthetic, realistic materials, highly detailed, tactile and believable. NOT digital painting, NOT cartoon, NOT anime, NOT CGI.

Vertical 4:5 composition, full sheet visible with comfortable margins. MOST IMPORTANT: the man's face must remain immediately recognizable as the exact person in the uploaded reference.
