Use the uploaded reference image as the only identity reference. Maintain 100% exact face match, hairstyle, hairline, beard, skin tone, facial proportions, natural expression, and every unique facial feature with no alteration. Do not beautify, reshape, stylize the facial identity, or reinterpret the face.

Transform the subject into an intimate pen-and-ink sketch of a man seated at a wooden desk, deeply focused while writing with a fountain pen. Capture him in a three-quarter profile, leaning forward with his head resting lightly on one hand while the other hand writes naturally on paper. His posture should convey quiet concentration and introspection.

Render the artwork using dense expressive cross-hatching, layered ink lines, rough gestural strokes, and fine hatchwork that define the face, hands, clothing, and desk. Use deep black ink on textured white paper with visible paper grain, ink bleeds, and natural sketch imperfections.

Apply subtle warm orange watercolor accents only across the face, hands, and parts of the writing desk to create a gentle focal point while keeping the rest of the artwork monochrome. Strong chiaroscuro lighting should emphasize the facial planes, fingers, and folds of the clothing.

Keep the background minimal with generous negative space, allowing only a few loose sketch lines to suggest the environment. Preserve realistic facial likeness while giving the illustration the feel of a handcrafted sketchbook drawing with an emotional, contemplative atmosphere.

Include a small elegant artist-style signature in the bottom-right corner. Vertical 9:16 composition.
