Prompt
You are looking at a photograph. Your task is to completely redraw it as a traditional graphite pencil drawing created by a master human artist on real white sketchbook paper. The output must be physically convincing - a viewer should believe a real human hand drew this. MEDIUM & SURFACE: Real heavyweight sketchbook paper (Canson or Strathmore texture), white with natural paper tooth. Paper grain is visible in every lighter area. The surface has subtle imperfections - microscopic dips, fibers, slight yellowing at edges. PENCIL WORK: Use the full graphite range: 9H (barely visible, bright highlights) through 9B (near-black, dense shadow cores). Stroke direction follows the form of every object - curved strokes on rounded surfaces, angular strokes on hard edges. No stroke is perfectly straight. No area is uniformly filled. Every centimeter has a unique stroke personality. SHADING & LIGHTING: Preserve the original image's lighting completely. Translate every light source into graphite tonal value. Highlights: bare paper with faint 9H touch. Midtones: layered HB and 2B cross-hatching, slightly varied pressure. Shadows: dense 4B-6B layering with directional hatching, edges softened by blending stump. Core shadows darkest, reflected light slightly lifted. Cast shadows have sharp near-edges that soften at distance.
