Retro Scratchboard Man Illustration Portrait

Create an ultra-detailed black-and-white engraved portrait of a handsome man, using the uploaded reference image as the exact facial identity reference. Preserve the original facial structure, eye shape, nose, lips, and natural proportions with accurate face matching and no identity change. Composition & Pose: A centered, front-facing head-and-chest portrait, looking directly into the camera with a calm, confident, serious expression. Symmetrical composition with the head positioned in the upper center and shoulders filling the lower frame. Hairstyle & Facial Detail: Thick, dark hair neatly styled, featuring individually defined strands. A well-groomed look with fine, realistic hair detailing. Outfit: A luxurious black ribbed turtleneck sweater paired with a sophisticated black tailored overcoat featuring wide lapels, precise stitching, and subtle fabric texture. Art Style & Technique: High-contrast monochrome engraving, inspired by vintage banknote illustrations, copperplate etching, and intricate cross-hatching. Use extremely fine stippling, dense dotwork, delicate parallel lines, and precise white ink highlights against deep black shadows. Render facial contours, detailed skin texture & hair strands, and clothing with meticulous engraved details. The result should be a masterfully hand-etched illustration rather than a photograph or 3D render. Lighting & Background: Dramatic studio lighting with subtle highlights across the forehead, nose, cheeks, and hair, balanced by deep shadows around the jawline and neck. Solid black textured background with subtle charcoal grain and a soft vignette, creating a premium, cinematic atmosphere. Color Palette: Strictly black and white, with rich blacks, crisp white highlights. No other colors. Technical Details: Ultra-sharp micro-details, clean engraved outlines, intricate halftone shading, professional illustration quality, 8K detail, vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, centered framing, premium editorial artwork. Negative Prompt: No border, photorealistic skin, 3D rendering, cartoon, anime, painterly brushstrokes, blurry details, low resolution, smooth plastic skin, messy hair, distorted facial features, asymmetrical eyes, incorrect anatomy, extra limbs, text, logos, watermarks, or unwanted objects. 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.
