The complete prompt

Create an ultra-realistic colored-pencil portrait drawing photographed from directly overhead, showing a glamorous young Middle Eastern woman drawn on a clean white sheet of artist paper attached to a turquoise/teal clipboard resting on a light wooden desk.

The portrait is a highly polished hand-drawn colored-pencil illustration, blending photorealism with elegant beauty-art styling. The woman is shown from the chest upward, facing almost directly forward with a subtle head tilt and calm, confident eye contact.

She has very long, thick, glossy jet-black hair, center-parted and flowing naturally over both shoulders, rendered with extremely detailed individual pencil strokes and realistic highlights. Her complexion is smooth porcelain-warm with softly blended peach-pink blush. She has large expressive warm hazel-brown eyes, dramatic long separated eyelashes, bold black winged eyeliner, softly shaded brown eye makeup, extremely thick naturally feathered dark eyebrows, a slender refined nose, and full glossy coral-rose lips with detailed highlights and shading.

Emphasize exceptional colored-pencil craftsmanship: visible layered pencil strokes, delicate cross-hatching, smooth tonal blending, realistic hair strands, carefully rendered eyelashes and eyebrows, subtle paper grain, and convincing hand-drawn texture. The finished portrait should appear almost photographic while remaining unmistakably created with colored pencils.

Surround the artwork with real drawing materials to create a convincing artist-workspace scene: a neat vertical row of sharpened green, black, yellow, brown, peach, pink, orange and red colored pencils arranged along the right side of the portrait; a red pencil resting horizontally above the woman’s head; a blue mechanical pencil lying horizontally near the bottom edge; additional pencils partially visible around the clipboard.

Add a small elegant handwritten artist signature with a tiny heart on the blank paper to the left of the woman’s hair.

Composition: vertical 3:4 format, top-down flat-lay photography, entire clipboard visible, portrait centered slightly toward the left, pencils framing the artwork naturally, realistic wooden tabletop surrounding the clipboard.

Lighting: soft warm indoor ambient light with subtle natural shadows cast by the pencils and clipboard hardware, gentle reflections on the glossy pencil barrels and metal clip.

Style: hyper-detailed colored-pencil realism, traditional hand-drawn portrait, beauty illustration, photorealistic pencil rendering, visible paper texture, authentic artist workspace, realistic materials, extremely fine detail, crisp focus, natural imperfections, high-resolution photography, 8K.

Negative prompt: digital painting appearance, obvious CGI, watercolor, oil paint, rough sketch, unfinished drawing, distorted facial proportions, asymmetrical eyes, extra pencils crossing the face, messy composition, blurry details, artificial plastic hair, illegible facial features, excessive skin texture, text across the portrait, watermark.
