The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A fashion sketchbook portrait with deliberately uneven finish: the face densely built from layered coloured pencil hatching in warm reds and cool blues, the clothing below left as loose unfinished contour line with only a few strokes of colour. Paper texture visible throughout, all marks directional and never blended smooth, the drawing stopping partway down the chest with bare paper around it. No lettering.
