## Prompt

```text
A hyper-realistic trompe l'oeil image of a spiral-bound sketchbook resting on a wooden surface. On the sketchbook page is a highly detailed graphite pencil drawing of a {subject_description}, looking down thoughtfully as she holds a {object_held} in both hands. From the bottom right, a photorealistic human hand holding a wooden pencil enters the frame, appearing to actively draw the sketch. Resting on the top left corner of the textured paper are 1 rectangular white eraser, 1 small blue metal pencil sharpener, and scattered pencil shavings. The transition between the photorealistic hand and the graphite sketch creates a seamless optical illusion.
```
