## Full prompt

```text
Transform the uploaded photo into a highly realistic hand-drawn graphite pencil portrait while preserving the exact identity, facial features, expression, hairstyle, pose, clothing, and composition. Recreate the dramatic black-and-white noir lighting with high contrast, deep shadows, and soft highlights on the face. Render the image as a professional charcoal or graphite drawing with visible pencil texture, smooth shading transitions, and an artistic focus on the subject's gaze.
