Convert this uploaded image into a minimal side-view pen line sketch with selective candlelight realism.
Keep the subject’s face consistent with the photo, preserving identity, proportions, and features.
Pose & Composition:
Subject shown in soft side-view pose, eyes gently closed or lowered, holding a small candle near face.
Centered composition, upper body visible, candle glow close to the chin/neck area.
Art Style:
Minimal continuous pen/ink line drawing for most of the figure (hair, clothing, body outline).
Deliberately loose, sketch-like line strokes on plain paper background.
Only the candle and illuminated areas (side of face, chin, neck, part of shoulder, and fingers) painted in soft, realistic detail with glowing warmth.
Candlelight glow must blend naturally into sketch lines, highlighting contours.
Hair mostly pen-drawn, with 2–3 loose strands softly catching the light.
Background:
Plain textured paper with a **dark overlay wash** to add depth and drama.
Contrast must emphasize the candle glow — light feels like it cuts through the darker paper tone.
Lighting & Mood:
Strong chiaroscuro feel: 90% sketch/dark minimalism, 10% realistic glowing candlelight.
Lighting must replicate the dramatic warm glow from reference — golden and soft, with realistic shading on skin.
Mood: poetic, intimate, and cinematic.
Quality & Format:
8K digital illustration.
Aspect ratio: 1:1 square format.
Style: minimal pen sketch + selective painted candlelight realism with dark paper background.
