Main AI Prompt

Main Prompt Content
"Ultra-realistic, hyper-detailed {argument name="art style" default="colored pencil drawing"} on textured fine art paper, 8K resolution, vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. Create a stunning hand-drawn portrait using ONLY vibrant colored pencils (no paint, no digital brush look), with visible pencil strokes, layered shading, and realistic grain texture. Use the {argument name="identity source" default="provided reference image"} as the ONLY identity source — the face must match 100% exactly, preserving precise facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, hairline, and all micro-details. No stylization or alteration of the face. Subject composition: confident, slightly angled pose with direct eye contact, subtle natural expression that feels powerful and relatable. Art style: Highly refined colored pencil realism blended with artistic exaggeration in colors — rich, {argument name="colors" default="saturated tones"} (crimson reds, electric blues, emerald greens, golden yellows, deep violets) subtly infused into shadows and highlights while maintaining realistic skin tone. Lighting: Dramatic studio lighting with soft glow and high contrast, enhancing depth and facial contours. Light reflections should be carefully rendered with pencil strokes. Background: Abstract, vibrant, and dynamic — swirling colorful pencil strokes, gradient blends, and artistic splashes that look hand-drawn.

Details: Ultra-sharp eyes with glossy reflections, Individually drawn hair strands with colored pencil layering, Skin texture rendered through fine cross-hatching and smooth blending, Slight paper texture visible for authenticity, Subtle color accents on face edges for artistic depth. Viral Enhancements: High contrast + color pop effect, Clean composition with subject centered, Instagram-ready aesthetic, Slight glow around subject for premium look, Cinematic depth of field (background softly blurred but still artistic).
