Create an ultra-realistic 8K, 4:5 portrait of the person in the uploaded reference image, seated on the left and holding an oversized red pencil toward a graphite-sketch version of themselves on the right. Show the sketched version seated with a DSLR camera. Blend photorealistic colors with intricate monochrome pencil shading, realistic shadows, a clean studio background, and a 3D optical illusion. Preserve the person's facial identity and outfit details. Add a small, elegant handwritten “${signature-text:Behrang}” signature at the bottom-right.
