Split Photo and Sketch Portrait Effect prompt text

Copy & paste

Using the uploaded image as the exact reference, recreate the same split-half portrait composition. The left side should remain a hyper-realistic photograph of a {argument name="subject" default="beautiful young woman with striking blue eyes, long wavy dark hair"}, soft natural makeup, wearing large white over-ear headphones, smiling gently at the camera. The right side should seamlessly transform into a {argument name="art style" default="detailed colored-pencil and crayon sketch version"} of the same woman, featuring visible artistic strokes, textured paper grain, expressive hand-drawn lines, and matching facial features. A realistic torn-paper effect runs vertically through the center, perfectly dividing the photo and sketch halves. Neutral indoor background, soft natural lighting, ultra-detailed skin texture, realistic hair strands, identical pose and expression, high-end editorial photography, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens, photorealistic quality, 8K resolution. Replace the original outfit with an {argument name="clothing" default="elegant royal purple traditional suit (shalwar kameez)"} on both sides, perfectly matching in design and color while keeping every other detail exactly the same.
