Prompt

A black-and-white hand-drawn family portrait in the style of detailed pen-and-ink crosshatching on textured white paper, showing 4 people seated closely together in a casual candid composition. On the left, an adult man in a dark baseball cap worn backward and a dark T-shirt leans into the frame, with a crossbody sling bag worn across his chest and visible zipper details. On the right, an adult woman with curly hair tied up in a loose high bun wears a light T-shirt with large collegiate block letters reading {argument name="shirt text" default="CITY"}. In the center are 2 young children sitting close together, both with short curly hair and matching light-colored T-shirts printed all over with strawberries. The child on the left leans inward with one arm crossing the other child, and the child on the right tilts their head slightly upward. The adults frame the children protectively, creating a warm family snapshot feeling. Render the whole image as a monochrome etched illustration with dense fine-line hatching, engraved shadows, crisp contour lines, and a realistic yet artistic likeness, with no color, no background setting beyond a plain light paper texture, and a vertical portrait crop.

Expressive Ink Manuscript Portrait

Use the uploaded photo as the primary face reference. Preserve the person's exact facial structure, skin tone, beard shape, nose, eyes, expression, likeness, and proportions from the reference image.

The visual language should feel raw, rebellious, bold, experimental, and editorial, blending precise illustration with conceptual art. Use a pale aged-parchment background (background) with subtle grain, faded paper texture, delicate linework, ink stains, and the feeling of an old manuscript or forgotten document.

The headphones have a glossy, metallic finish with realistic reflections. Her skin is rendered in shades of grey and teal highlights to emphasize the dramatic lighting coming from above. ​Atmosphere: Urban, artistic, and melancholic, reminiscent of high-end graphic novel cover art or a modern street-art mural.
