Soft Pastel Cafe Portrait

Use the uploaded image strictly only for face and identity reference. Preserve the same feminine identity naturally. Create a 4:5 aspect ratio, premium-quality soft pastel and colored-pencil portrait illustration of the woman sitting at a cafe table. The final image should feel like a high-end artist-made portrait, elegant, refined, delicate, and visually polished — not like a basic sketch, comic drawing, or simple line-art illustration. Visual Goal: The artwork must have a soft luxurious handmade feel, with refined blending, gentle tonal transitions, delicate shading, and a clean premium finish. It should look like a beautifully crafted professional illustration on fine textured white paper, with subtle colored-pencil rendering and soft pastel depth. Keep the image airy, graceful, and artistically sophisticated. Composition: Vertical portrait, upper-body framing. The woman is centered, facing the camera directly, sitting calmly behind a wooden cafe table. Her arms rest naturally and softly on the table in a relaxed and elegant pose. Place a small white ceramic coffee cup with soft latte foam on a saucer in the foreground near the bottom center. The cup should be neatly drawn, slightly understated, and not oversized. Character Details: She has a warm cheerful smile, gentle friendly eyes, delicate feminine facial features, smooth clear skin, thin round pink glasses, and small elegant dangling earrings. Keep the hair matching the reference image: same dark brown tone, same length, same soft wavy flow, smooth volume, center-parted look, and soft natural framing around the face. Outfit: She wears a simple mustard-yellow short-sleeve t-shirt. Keep it minimal, clean, and softly shaded, with subtle fabric form and elegant simplicity. Background: Use a bright clean white background with a very subtle pastel grid/sketch texture. Keep the lines faint and soft, in pale blue, mint, and light beige tones. Behind the subject, add very soft, light, and blurred background elements such as a faint table or shelf and a subtle plant or decor object, rendered in an airy pastel way so they remain barely visible and do not distract from the portrait. These background objects should feel delicate, minimal, and softly dissolved into the scene, helping the image feel premium, elegant, and softly atmospheric. The background must remain minimal, airy, and uncluttered, helping the portrait feel clean and premium. Rendering Style: Soft pastel + colored-pencil portrait rendering, refined and delicate. Very soft edges, smooth shading, subtle paper texture, and light pencil presence. Facial rendering should be polished, graceful, and clean, with delicate color blending and natural softness. Keep the overall finish premium, elegant, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing. The image should feel like a high-end editorial portrait illustration or luxury stationery artwork, not a rough sketch. Important Style Restrictions: Do not make it look like a cartoon, comic, anime, flat vector, rough sketch, ink drawing, or children’s book illustration. Do not use harsh outlines, strong contour lines, heavy cross-hatching, exaggerated features, or overly visible pencil strokes. Do not make the hair too short, too fluffy, or restyled. Do not over-sharpen the image. Do not make the coffee cup too large or too detailed. Avoid: heavy black outlines, comic style, rough pencil sketch look, amateur illustration feel, harsh linework, flat shading, watercolor wash dominance, messy composition, distorted glasses, awkward hands, extra fingers, text, logo, watermark.
