Graphite pencil sketch of Subject . Monochrome graphite on smooth hot-press paper, HB-2B range. Emphasize natural pencil stroke texture with visible grain: light contour lines, varied line weight, cross-hatching and scumbling, gently blended halftones; kneaded-eraser lifted highlights; subtle, continuous value transitions and lost-and-found edges. Composition framing; clear focal point with balanced negative space and either calm symmetry or rule-of-thirds alignment. Soft, single top-left light to model forms, delicate cast shadows, quiet atmosphere. Paper tooth visible in midtones, soft vignette. Detail density: Detail Level. Render with crisp yet organic edges, clean tonal separation, and scan-like clarity appropriate to a finished graphite sketch sheet.
