Redraw the person in the reference photograph as a bright, lively, expressive hand-drawn pencil sketch on a completely clean white background. Preserve the person’s recognizability, hairstyle, hair, pose, camera angle, body position, clothing, and the photograph’s overall composition, but transform the image into a loose, expressive fashion sketch made with soft black pencils, graphite, charcoal, or black wax crayons.

Use only black, white, and natural shades of gray created by the pencil or charcoal texture. Do not use red, blue, green, brown, or any other colors.

Use strong black contrast and expressive tonal variation, while keeping the drawing a rough, lively, hand-drawn sketch rather than a polished, clean illustration. Use loose, fast, uneven strokes, repeated lines, sharp pencil movements, overlapping marks, cross-hatching, visible graphite or charcoal texture, partially unfilled areas, and lines that extend beyond the forms. Keep the strokes clearly visible and expressive. Do not smooth out the drawing or make it perfectly clean. Avoid digital-looking gradients, airbrushing, or overly polished rendering. It should feel as if an artist quickly and emotionally sketched the character by hand using black pencils or charcoal.

Strongly exaggerate the body proportions. Make the shoulders very large, extremely broad, and expressive—significantly wider than natural human proportions. Make the shoulder line exaggeratedly wide and almost dominant in the composition. The shoulders should look powerful, large, and slightly angular, creating a distinctive fashion-sketch silhouette. Exaggerate the anatomical width of the shoulders, not merely the clothing. Make the head appear slightly smaller relative to the shoulders. The arms and other body parts may be slightly stylized, but the main exaggerated feature must remain the extremely broad shoulders.

Strongly stylize the face. Make it angular and geometric, with a square forehead, sharp cheekbones, a square jawline, a square chin, and angular ears. Build the facial contour primarily from straight lines and sharp angles rather than a smooth, realistic oval. Make the nose square and graphic, defining it with several quick, straight pencil lines.

Make the eyes large, beautiful, and expressive. They should be noticeably larger than natural proportions and visually extend beyond the facial contour, intentionally breaking its boundaries. Keep them aesthetically pleasing and expressive, not frightening or grotesque. Define each eye with several loose, flowing, confident black pencil lines. Do not realistically render the iris, pupil, eyelashes, or tiny details. The eyes should look like large graphic elements drawn with quick, expressive pencil movements.

Make the lips square and geometric, with sharp corners, straight sections, and a slightly exaggerated shape rather than natural smoothness. The chin, nose, lips, cheekbones, and jawline should form one unified angular, geometric style.

Do not render the face realistically. Do not add tiny skin details, photorealistic eyes, pores, or precise anatomical detailing. Emphasize the expressive silhouette, oversized eyes extending beyond the face, square facial features, hyperbolically broad shoulders, and loose, visible black pencil lines.

Draw the hair with fast, energetic, chaotic black strokes while preserving the actual hairstyle and direction of the hair. Do not make the hair perfectly smooth or render it strand by strand. Use many loose, overlapping lines, some extending beyond the actual hair contour.

Render the clothing with dense, expressive black pencil or charcoal strokes, preserving its original design while emphasizing the exaggerated shoulder width. Indicate folds and clothing details with fast, uneven lines, cross-hatching, and overlapping strokes rather than precise or polished rendering.

Keep the white background absolutely clean, with no decorations, objects, text, borders, shadows, or additional elements.

The final result should look like a striking contemporary black-pencil or charcoal fashion sketch made in just a few minutes: lively, loose, rough, energetic, slightly chaotic, with repeated lines, visible graphite or charcoal texture, strong black accents, areas of untouched white paper, and intentional incompleteness. The large, beautiful eyes should extend beyond the square face; the nose and lips should be square; the chin and ears should be angular; and the shoulders should be excessively wide and exaggerated. Despite the exaggerated proportions, keep the character aesthetically pleasing, stylish, and recognizable from the reference photograph.
