High-Detail Pencil Portrait

I have a clear reference photo and need it translated into an A4-sized, pencil-rendered portrait that looks lifelike, clean, and richly detailed. The focus should remain entirely on the main subject—no background elements, please—so every stroke can bring out facial features, textures, and tonal depth without distraction.

I’ll supply the reference image in high resolution as soon as we start. In return, I’m expecting:

• One digital scan or photograph of the completed artwork at 300 dpi or higher
• The original file format (JPEG or PNG) untouched by compression
• A brief note on your drawing process so I can credit your technique when sharing the work

If you usually work with graphite grades, blending stumps, or kneaded erasers, feel free to mention how you’ll use them—I value insight into your toolkit. Consistency in line weight, smooth shading transitions, and crisp edges are essential acceptance criteria. Look forward to seeing your craftsmanship on paper.
