Drawn in graphite, not photographed

Pencil on warm paper

The preset redraws one adult as a graphite portrait with fine line variation, observed shading and realistic anatomy. This is a drawing style, unlike the photographic lighting of Black & White Portrait.

Features as a reference

The prompt asks to keep facial features, expression, hair and proportions. Skin texture and fine patterns become pencil marks and shading, so it cannot serve as an identity-accurate portrait.

A digital image, not a commission

Each run creates one AI-generated still image of one person, with no lettering. There is no physical original, framing or shipping; for colour marker strokes, see Doodle Portrait.

Use a clear photo of yourself or a consenting adult, with visible facial features and even light.

Questions

Is this hand-drawn by an artist and mailed to me?
No. It is an AI-generated digital image. This page does not provide a physical original, framing or shipping.
Will the face match the photo exactly?
The prompt aims to keep facial features, expression and proportions, but a pencil drawing can change details. Do not use it for identity documents or other official purposes.
Can I add colour or several people?
This preset uses monochrome graphite and asks for one person, so it is not designed for a group portrait. For colourful strokes, try Doodle Portrait.
