Image prompt
1,884 charactersCreate an ultra-realistic editorial portrait using the uploaded photo as the exact reference for the person. Preserve the person's facial identity, facial features, hairstyle, skin tone, body proportions, clothing, accessories, and pose accurately. Create a creative split-style composition where the real person is naturally positioned beside a highly detailed hand-drawn pencil sketch of the exact same person. The sketch must precisely replicate the person's pose, hairstyle, sunglasses, outfit, shoes, bag, coffee cup, magazine, and body proportions. The real person should look completely photorealistic with natural skin texture, realistic hair strands, authentic fabric details, soft natural lighting, subtle shadows, and cinematic depth. The sketch should be monochrome graphite/ink with fine pencil strokes, cross-hatching, realistic line variation, hand-drawn imperfections, and artistic shading. Place the real person against a clean warm beige/cream wall in a minimalist fashion-editorial setting. Make the sketch appear as if it has been hand-drawn directly onto the wall beside the real person, perfectly aligned with the real pose. Add small hand-drawn doodles around the sketch, including hearts, stars, motion lines, and subtle artistic marks. Include a small tilted Polaroid-style inset photo of the original person near the bottom-left corner with rounded white borders. Maintain a sophisticated fashion magazine aesthetic, warm neutral tones, soft daylight, realistic textures, balanced composition, premium editorial photography, ultra-detailed, cinematic, high-end creative campaign, 4K quality. Important: Keep the person's identity, face, pose, hands, body proportions, clothing, accessories, and hairstyle consistent with the uploaded reference. Do not distort the face or body. Do not add extra people. No unwanted text, logos, captions, or watermarks.
How to use it
Start by uploading a clear photo of the person, because the prompt relies on that reference for face, hair, and clothing. Keep the pose, props, and the sketch-versus-photo contrast so the split effect still reads, and swap the wall colour or doodle shapes to match your own palette. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt, and the result works well as a fashion-campaign style social post or a personalised print.
