Create an 8K highly detailed head-and-neck portrait illustration of a person using the provided face reference. Preserve the exact facial proportions, identity, and unique features without alteration.
Composition:
The frame must include only the head and neck, tightly composed and perfectly centered. Maintain balanced negative space around the head and hair. The subject is looking directly into the camera with a strict eye-level, front-facing angle (no tilt). Expression should be calm, composed, and neutral.
Art Style:
Render the artwork as a raw, chaotic ink-style poster, constructed primarily from dense, curved black scribble strokes. The reference image is used strictly for accurate structure and likeness—do not stylize beyond recognition.
Line Work & Form:
Build hair, facial shadows, and depth using layered, overlapping, uneven lines
Incorporate rough cross-hatching techniques
Lines should feel organic, tangled, expressive, and slightly imperfect
Embrace a sense of controlled chaos and hand-drawn energy
Color Palette (Strictly Minimal):
Skin: flat beige tone only (no gradients, no realism)
Structure & shading: deep black ink strokes only
No smooth blending or polished rendering
Stylistic Details:
Introduce slight asymmetry in line flow for a natural, raw feel
Surround the subject with an irregular, abstract, tangled aura made of loose scribbles
Enhance the chaotic energy while maintaining structural clarity
Background:
A solid, flat, vibrant orange background, clean and uniform, creating strong contrast with the black ink work
Lighting:
Lighting should be implied only through line density—do not use realistic lighting or shading techniques
Overall Look:
High-contrast, graphic, poster-like aesthetic with a raw, expressive ink illustration style
Strictly Avoid:
No outfit visible
3D effects
Realistic rendering
Gradients
Soft shading
Any polished or clean digital finish
Style Direction:
Expressive ink illustration / raw sketch poster / abstract line-art portrait
Output Quality:
8K resolution
Aspect Ratio: 4:5

SUBJECT
Identity Preservation: Absolute morphological fidelity to the reference image; maintain exact ocular spacing, nasal bridge structure, labial curvature, and zygomatic definition. Zero deviation from the subject's age, bone structure, and dermal topography.
Anatomy: Serious, contemplative expression in 3/4 profile facing right. Macro-level epidermal texture (age-appropriate fine lines, pores, and follicle density).
Features: Thick-rimmed rectangular eyewear with high-clarity specular reflections. Detailed iris mapping with sharp corneal glints.
Grooming: Precise replication of hairline, parting, and hair texture. If applicable, maintain exact beard/mustache density, outline, and directional growth.
Attire: Sharp-contoured formal jacket over a crisp collared shirt; intellectual, structured aesthetic.
COMPOSITIONFraming: Minimalist bust-length portrait centered on a stark white negative-space background.
Aspect Ratio: 4:5.
Typography: A small, legible, handwritten calligraphy signature "PromptPlum.com" positioned with spatial accuracy above the subject’s left shoulder; integrated seamlessly into the graphite medium.
LIGHTINGScheme: High-contrast Chiaroscuro rendering.
Directionality: Dominant key light from front-left (45°), creating volumetric illumination on the forehead, nose bridge, and cheekbone.
Shadow Detail: Deep Rembrandt-style shadows under the jawline and nasolabial folds; high-latitude tonal range from pure white to deep carbon black.
TECHNICAL SPECSMedium: Professional fine-art graphite drawing on cold-press paper grain.
Stroke Techniques: Intaglio-grade hatching and cross-hatching for facial contours; delicate directional strokes for hyper-detailed hair strands; light, thin scumbled shading for fabric-to-skin contrast.
Render Quality: 4K ultra-high fidelity, micro-pencil grain texture, photorealistic pencil-lead sheen, smooth 8B-to-2H tonal transitions, and extreme precision in sharp-to-soft edge control.
