Realistic Pencil Sketch Portrait from a Photo
Posted · 3 views
Needs your photo. Upload a photo of yourself in ChatGPT first, then paste the prompt.
Prompt
Turn the uploaded photo into a realistic graphite pencil sketch on textured off-white paper. Keep the person's likeness exact. Fine cross-hatching for shadows, soft smudged shading on the skin, sharp detailed lines around the eyes and hair, and some unfinished loose strokes toward the edges of the drawing. Include a few visible pencil marks and a light eraser texture so it looks hand-drawn. Black and white only.
How to customize this prompt
- Try "charcoal" instead of graphite for darker, more dramatic shading.
- Add one color accent: "black and white except for the eyes, which are bright blue".
- Add "with the artist's pencils lying next to the paper on a wooden table" for a photo of the drawing.
How to use: open ChatGPT, upload your photo, paste the prompt and send.
