I'm attaching a reference photo of a person's face.
Create a portrait illustration in the following exact style,
preserving the subject's facial identity and likeness completely:
STYLE: Split-medium portrait — the LEFT half of the face, neck,
and clothing rendered in expressive colored pencil / soft pastel
sketch style; the RIGHT half remains as a realistic photographic
rendering. The boundary between the two halves blends organically
with no hard edge — it dissolves naturally, especially at the
hairline and jawline.
MEDIUM SIMULATION (left side):
- Loose, directional pencil/pastel strokes that follow facial
anatomy contours (not random)
- Color palette: cobalt blue, magenta/hot pink, lemon yellow,
and white — layered and overlapping, replacing realistic skin
tones as shadow/highlight
- Strokes are visible and expressive, NOT blended smooth
- Hair rendered with blue-dominant multicolor strokes over
dark base
- Clothing (if visible) rendered with loose pink/red crayon
strokes diagonally applied
MEDIUM SIMULATION (right side):
- Clean, sharp photographic realism
- Natural skin tones, precise hair detail, soft studio lighting
- Retain the subject's exact facial features, bone structure,
eyes, nose, lips with full fidelity
BACKGROUND: Flat, matte warm light gray (#D4CFC9 range).
No texture, no gradient. Neutral and minimal.
LIGHTING: Soft frontal-slightly-left studio light.
No dramatic shadows.
COMPOSITION: 3/4 angle portrait (face turned slightly left),
cropped from upper chest to top of head, centered slightly
left of frame. Vertical/portrait orientation.
CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENT: The split must always be a
left-illustrated / right-photographic vertical divide
through the center of the face. The artistic strokes
must always use the same three-color palette
(blue, pink, yellow) regardless of who the subject is.
Preserve the attached person's face with 100% likeness
fidelity. Do not alter, idealize, or stylize their
facial features on the realistic (right) side.
