Create a highly detailed, realistic hand-drawn pencil sketch portrait on clean white paper, exactly matching the reference photo: a young East Asian woman in her early 20s with a precise bob haircut featuring straight bangs, short black hair with soft strands framing the face and slight asymmetry, wearing oversized rectangular glasses with thin frames, neutral expression with slightly parted lips, direct but soft gaze toward the viewer, subtle chin tilt, intricate graphite shading, cross-hatching, and textured pencil strokes for skin, hair, and clothing details.
Use the attached reference image as the exact facial reference for 100% likeness in bone structure, eye shape and spacing, nose, mouth, jawline, hairline, and overall proportions. Highly consistent character fidelity, photorealistic accuracy in features translated to skilled pencil drawing style.
Improve the lighting: soft natural diffused daylight from the front-left with gentle rim lighting on the hair and cheek, subtle volumetric highlights on the glasses lenses, soft shadows under the chin and neck for depth and three-dimensionality, smooth gradient shading without harsh contrasts.
Vibrant yet harmonious color palette in the sketch: warm graphite tones with subtle brownish undertones in shadows, delicate skin warmth, slightly richer black in hair for vibrancy, clean white paper background with faint paper texture.
Masterful artistic pencil sketch style, hyper-detailed linework, realistic graphite texture and pressure variations, professional artist quality like a refined studio drawing.

**Varied Pose Options** (append after the style description):
- `, slight three-quarter view turned to the right, gentle head tilt`
- `, soft profile view looking slightly away, relaxed expression`
- `, dynamic low-angle close-up with confident upward gaze`
- `, candid side angle with hair partially covering one eye, subtle smile`
Example full variation: Add `, slight three-quarter view turned to the right, gentle head tilt` right before the `--ar` parameters.
### Pro Tips for Best Results in Grok Imagine
- Always **upload the reference image** when using this prompt.
- Generate multiple versions (Grok Imagine often gives 4+ options) and pick the best, then use the **Edit** feature with a refinement prompt like: "Enhance the pencil texture, make lighting softer and more vibrant, keep exact face from reference."
- For even more vibrancy: Add `, subtle colored pencil accents in warm skin tones and hair highlights` if you want a hybrid sketch look.
- For ultra-consistency across a series: Use the same prompt but add `--seed [number from a good generation]` or generate a character reference first.
This prompt should get you extremely close to (or better than) the original sketch while delivering the requested improvements. If the first generations aren't perfect, share one output and I can refine the prompt further or suggest an edit! Just let me know what you want to tweak (e.g., more dramatic lighting, different pose, even more color pop).
