How to use it
Upload a reference photo of your own if you want a specific face, since the prompt describes features rather than naming a person. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt. Keep the paper tone, the soft studio lighting and the restrained monochrome palette, because those details create the sketched finish. Change the garment or hairstyle to suit your project, and the result works well as a gallery print or a portrait for a stationery set.
