AI Photo Editing Prompt
PromptEdit the uploaded photo by converting it into a realistic hand-drawn graphite pencil sketch. Keep the subject's likeness, pose and composition unchanged while replacing the photographic look with detailed pencil shading, cross-hatching and fine linework on textured drawing paper. Preserve facial features and proportions accurately, with soft gradients, realistic shadowing and subtle paper grain. Use monochrome graphite tones only, with no color. The final image should look like a skilled artist's pencil portrait, natural and detailed, aspect ratio 3:4
