Use the uploaded photo as the main and strict face and character reference. Keep the person’s identity 100% identical to the reference image: same facial features, bone structure, skin tone, gender, perceived age, hairstyle shape, and overall facial proportions. Do not change the person’s gender, do not make the face younger or older, and do not idealize or beautify the facial structure in a way that alters their real identity. Preserve the exact facial expression, nose, eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, lips, jawline, and any unique marks such as moles, freckles, scars, or specific skin texture.
Render this person in a mixed media painting style that combines expressive oil painting with rough charcoal sketching. Strong visible hatching and cross-hatching charcoal lines should appear both beneath and on top of thick impasto brush strokes, especially around the contours of the face and hair. Use raw, spontaneous, and aggressive brush movements with uneven paint application, bold palette knife textures, scraped and scratched surfaces where the underdrawing shows through.
Emphasize high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting, dramatic color splashes, and imperfect, broken edges rather than clean outlines. The overall feel should be energetic and hand-crafted, with emotional expression, gestural marks, and bold painterly abstraction dominating the background and clothing while the facial structure remains recognizable. Aim for a contemporary fine art aesthetic with a raw, unfinished, expressive character, high detail, and a gallery-ready look."
