## Prompt

```text
Expressive mixed-media portrait style on reddish-brown toned paper, rough textured background resembling warm sepia kraft paper, loose and gestural sketch lines combined with painterly strokes, visible construction lines and scribbles, semi-abstract rendering, face and neck highly refined with layered brushwork and subtle color blending, while the rest of the body remains unfinished and loosely suggested, fragmented edges and fading outlines, dynamic linework with pencil and ink feel, soft diffused lighting with warm and cool tonal contrasts, raw artistic process aesthetic, imperfect and organic, with visible strokes, cross-hatching, and color blocking, contemporary expressive realism style.
```
