## Prompt

```text
Create a {atmosphere} editorial-style "photo to sketch" artbook page based on the attached photo. Maintain the subject, pose, expression, attire, composition, and atmosphere of the original photo.

[Layout Conditions]
1. Divide the page into top and bottom sections, making them appear continuous.
2. Top section: A cinematic, ultra-realistic photo (soft natural light, subtle film grain, shallow depth of field, natural colors).
3. Bottom section: Convert the same scene and person into a black-and-white hand-drawn ink illustration.
- The paper in the bottom section should be a warm off-white. Use rough lines, coarse cross-hatching, minimal shading, and the feel of a handmade sketchbook.
[Text and Decoration]
- Use elegant editorial-style typography around the illustration.
- Include small numbered titles, short poetic handwritten captions, and small notes.
- Aim for the feel of a luxury photography magazine or a Japanese "visual diary."
[Overall Texture]
- Generous cream-colored margins.
- Paper texture and slightly faded ink printing.
- Minimalist design with subtle vintage placement.
- Create a natural transition between the photo and the drawing.
[Prohibited Items]
- No watermarks or logos.
- Maintain natural body proportions and skeletal structure.
[Goal]
Output an editorial-style page where the photo and hand-drawn sketch coexist while staying faithful to the original subject and scene.
