Charcoal and Pencil Artistic Portrait

Use the uploaded photo as the sole identity reference for this person.

Transform this person into a {argument name="Style" default="high-end black and white art portrait"}: {argument name="Action" default="sitting comfortably, reading an open book"}, one hand holding a {argument name="Prop" default="small coffee cup"}.

Retain identity features:
Keep this person's recognizable facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin features, hairstyle, hair texture, and overall similarity, faithful to the uploaded reference photo.

Pose:
Person sitting in a relaxed, elegant posture, naturally looking down at the open book, reading. One hand gently holding a ceramic coffee cup, the other hand supporting or holding the open book. The pose should be natural, quiet, and unforced.

Clothing:
Retain the clothing from the reference photo if appropriate, presenting real fabric texture and natural wrinkles. Overall attire remains refined and understated.

Art style:
Transform the entire scene into a fine monochrome pencil and charcoal sketch, combined with realistic editorial portrait photography style.

Use extremely delicate graphite pencil lines, refined cross-hatching, realistic charcoal shading, fine paper texture, subtle ink brushstrokes, hand-drawn edges, and soft tonal transitions.

Smoke effect:
Character surrounded by beautifully flowing charcoal smoke, graphite dust, fine sketch particles, and ink lines. The smoke should naturally emerge around the character's hair, shoulders, arms, clothing, book, and lower body, gradually fading into the white background.

Coffee cup:
Ceramic coffee cup must be clearly discernible in the person's hand, completely rendered with realistic pencil and charcoal shading.

Book:
The open book must be clearly visible and detailed, with realistic pages and subtle handwritten-like page texture. Do not add readable text or logos on the pages.

Background:
Clean white or warm white textured paper background. Minimalist composition, character emerging from the surrounding smoky sketch art.

Color:
Strictly black and white and soft gray monochrome. No any color.

Lighting:
Soft cinematic portrait lighting transformed into monochrome, with rich facial highlight details and natural shadows.

Quality:
Ultra-fine, realistic human anatomy, highly detailed hair strands, realistic hands and fingers, fine clothing, realistic ceramic cup and book, professional gallery-level pencil and charcoal sketch.

Composition:
Centered portrait, fully presenting the character, coffee cup, and book. Head, hair, hands, cup, book, and body are all within the frame. Ample clean white space around the smoke art edges.

Important:
Uploaded photo is only for identity reference.
Retain the character's identity and similarity.
Do not replace the face.
Do not add text, logos, watermarks, borders, or picture-in-picture frames.
Do not make a collage.
Do not make it colorful.
Do not make it cartoon or 3D effect.
Do not crop the coffee cup or book.
The final result should look like a realistic photo transformed into a refined black and white pencil and charcoal masterpiece.
