A Face Drawn in Ink ✍️????
Prompt Instruction Payload
Create an ultra-realistic photograph of an open, dark cloth hardcover sketchbook resting on a richly textured wooden desk. The image must be in exactly 9:16 vertical format. MAIN SUBJECT — HEAD-ONLY INK PORTRAIT On the cream-colored right page, draw a large, highly detailed, hand-drawn portrait of a young man, showing only his head, hair, face, neck, and a small portion of his shoulders. Do not draw his full body or half body. Use my uploaded reference photo as the facial identity reference. If no photo is uploaded, use a random young South Asian man as the reference. Preserve the recognizable facial features, natural face shape, eye spacing, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, hairstyle, and beard. The man has thick, naturally wavy black hair, a short beard and moustache, expressive eyes, and a subtle, natural smile. NO SUNGLASSES OR EYEWEAR. Both eyes must be clearly visible. SKETCH STYLE Render the portrait in expressive black brush-and-ink strokes, fine pen lines, delicate crosshatching, and realistic hand-drawn shading. Include natural paper grain and slight variations in ink density. Add just one small, artistic red ink stroke on the shirt collar. Keep the rest of the drawing monochrome. BOOK AND ENVIRONMENT - A dark cloth hardcover sketchbook, opened naturally. - Warm cream-colored paper with subtle visible fibers. - A mostly blank left page. - A dark ribbon bookmark running along the book's spine. - A realistic thumb gently holding the lower-left corner of the book. - A wooden desk with rich, natural grain. - A partially visible warm desk lamp in the upper-right corner. LIGHTING AND PHOTOGRAPHY Warm golden lamplight falls diagonally from the upper right, illuminating the paper and creating soft shadows near the spine. Capture the scene like a real DSLR photograph with natural depth of field, highly realistic textures, balanced composition, and cinematic warm tones. STRICT COMPOSITION RULES: The face sketch must be the main focal point, large and centered on the right page. Show only the head and a small portion of the shoulders. No full-body figure, no hands in the drawing, no sunglasses, no extra colors, no text, no lettering, no logos, no signatures, and no watermarks. OUTPUT: Photorealistic physical sketchbook, detailed head-only ink portrait, 4K-quality appearance, exact 9:16 vertical aspect ratio. Insert discreet watermark in the lower right corner of the image, vertical text (rotated 90°), written "aipromptlabs.online", Calibri Light font, white color with low opacity (semi-transparent), medium size. Extreme sharpness on the face, fabric texture and typography of the letters. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 50mm f/2.8, studio light.
