Photorealistic Graphite Pencil Portrait – Three-Quarter View

Use the uploaded image as the ONLY facial and identity reference. The subject is clearly recognizable as the subject from [image_0.png], respecting her facial structure but adapted to a 3/4 angle view.

Composition: Chest-up portrait, near-frontal with a subtle three-quarter angle body. The subject occupies approximately 70-80% of the frame area. Head slightly tilted upward, chin gently raised. Gaze directed upward and slightly to the right (not at camera), conveying curiosity and quiet introspection.

Expression: Natural and soft. Eyes wide but realistic, lips slightly parted with a hint of upper teeth. No forced emotion — calm, observational, and candid.

Eyes (Primary Focus): Highly detailed irises with natural gradients and soft catchlights from overhead lighting. Defined eyelids, fine irregular eyelashes (non-uniform, non-stylized).

Facial Rendering: Softly shaded nose, natural lips with volume and subtle inner depth. Smooth graphite blending across skin with delicate tonal transitions. Slight depth under chin and along jawline.

Hair: Naturally wavy, silky, with a mix of controlled strokes and loose flyaways. Edges remain light and sketchy to keep focus on the face.

Clothing (Subtle Detail): Soft off-shoulder fabric gently draped below the collarbones, lightly visible and minimally rendered. The clothing should remain understated with smooth, delicate graphite shading, subtle folds, and no heavy texture—kept intentionally low-detail so the focus stays on the face.

Lighting: Soft top-down (butterfly lighting), evenly diffused. Gentle highlights on forehead, nose bridge, and eyes. No harsh contrast.

Style & Medium: Photorealistic graphite pencil drawing on clean white paper. Fine line work, subtle hatching, smooth blending, full tonal range.

Background: Plain white with minimal negative space, no distractions.

Technical: Ultra-detailed, sharp facial focus, visible pencil texture, 4:5 aspect ratio.

Negative Prompt: no stylization, no cartoon effect, no over-smoothing, no harsh contrast, no incorrect gaze, no exaggerated expression
