Transforming a photo into a piece of traditional art is one of the most popular uses for AI. However, achieving a balance between a beautiful artistic style and maintaining the exact likeness of the subject can be challenging.

In today's post, I am sharing a highly detailed AI Image Prompt designed to convert your photo into a soft, feminine charcoal drawing.

Prompt for AI Image Generation

CHARCOAL_PORTRAIT.TXT

A soft feminine charcoal drawing portrait based on a photo. The subject's facial features must remain 100.999% exactly the same as the reference photo with no changes, maintaining all facial details accurately. The hijab is drawn elegantly with clear geometric patterns in black and white, with soft shading highlighting fabric folds. A large, soft red flower with subtle gold details around it is on the side of the head. The makeup is feminine and sophisticated: shiny gold eyeshadow, under-eye shadow, long lashes, winged eyeliner, luminous smooth skin, and natural nude lips. Simple white background. The final work looks like a clear, elegant drawing with precise details. Crucial Note: Do not change facial features, keep them exactly 100.999% the same. Watermark: Add "By promptslab" text in the top left and bottom right corners, elegant font, slightly larger than usual, subtly transparent.

Why This Prompt Delivers High-Quality Results

This prompt is built on a foundation of precise instructions to guide the AI. Here is a breakdown of its key components:

• Strict Identity Lock: The repeated instruction "facial features must remain 100.999% exactly the same" is the most critical part. It forces the AI to prioritize likeness above all artistic interpretations.
• Defined Art Style: Specifying a "soft feminine charcoal drawing" sets the medium, texture, and overall mood. It tells the AI to use monochrome shading for everything except the specific color elements.
• Contrast and Color Pops: The black and white geometric hijab provides a strong graphical element that contrasts beautifully with the "large, soft red flower" and the "shiny gold eyeshadow," making these details stand out dramatically.
• Detailed Makeup Finish: Instead of generic makeup, the prompt specifies a "sophisticated" look with "luminous smooth skin," "winged eyeliner," and "nude lips," ensuring the final portrait feels polished and elegant.

Tips for Best Results

To get the perfect charcoal rendering of your photo, follow these steps:

1. Use a Reference: You MUST use an AI tool that accepts image references (like Midjourney's --cref). Without a reference photo, the "keep features same" instruction won't work.
2. High Character Weight: In Midjourney, use a high character weight parameter like --cw 100 to ensure the strongest adherence to the reference face.
3. Clear Input Photo: For the best makeup and feature transfer, use a high-quality, well-lit portrait where the face is clearly visible.
