Mixed-Media Editorial Illustration From Photo

Using an uploaded portrait as the subject reference, create a vertical 9:16 image. Transform the subject into a dramatic mixed-media editorial illustration. Combine semi-realistic painted facial features with crisp graphic shapes, ink lines, paint splashes and subtle halftone texture. Use burnt orange, amber and copper against charcoal black, with a few muted teal accents. Arrange abstract geometric layers behind the portrait to add depth without obscuring the face. Keep the expression and recognizable proportions of the reference. Use directional light, selective sharp details and a strong vertical composition for a polished contemporary poster.
