The prompt behind this image

Copy the exact prompt behind Museum-Quality Graphite Portrait, or open it in the studio and make it yours.

Prompt

Create an ultra-realistic graphite pencil portrait of {argument name="subject" default="a young Black man"} in a museum-quality hand-drawn style. Show a chest-up three-quarter portrait on off-white textured drawing paper, with the head turned slightly to the viewer’s left while the eyes look calmly toward the viewer’s right. Preserve natural facial proportions and a composed, serious expression. The subject has short closely cropped textured black hair, smooth dark skin rendered in grayscale tonal values, subtle facial hair along the chin and jaw, full lips, and wears thin rectangular metal eyeglasses with transparent lenses and small highlights. Dress him in {argument name="outfit" default="a light collared dress shirt with a dark necktie"}. Use exceptional graphite detail: visible pencil hatching, crosshatching, soft blending, delicate skin texture, realistic shading around the eyes, nose, cheeks, lips, ears, glasses, collar, and tie. Keep the background minimal and softly shaded with faint diagonal pencil strokes, no text, no color, no watermark. The final image should look like a refined traditional graphite drawing scanned or photographed on paper, with high realism and elegant portrait composition.
