Realistic Comic Portrait

This door starts a standing portrait with natural proportions and a graphic-novel line. The style is graphic novel. The looks field already says observed facial structure, restrained line weight, and not a photograph. Use it when the cast should read as people first and cartoons second. Use the anime door or the chibi door when you want those proportions instead.

Realistic here still means a drawing. Skin is not a camera texture. Pores, lens blur, and studio lighting turn the sheet into a photo you cannot ink. Ask for a line you could trace: “clear outer contour, simple shadow shapes, no photo grain.” Eyes stay in a human scale. If they enlarge, you have slipped into the anime door and the style note lost.

Describe bone structure in ordinary words. A long nose, a wide jaw, close-set eyes, hair thinning at the temples. “Beautiful” and “handsome” are not measurements, and they converge on one face. Clothes should be specific fabric: a worn wool coat, a cotton shirt with the sleeves rolled once. Costume armor belongs on the fantasy armor outfit door after this face exists.

Full body, both feet, plain ground. A cinematic city behind them is a background you did not commission on this page. Age and likeness: do not describe a real private person or a working actor. The drawing will chase that face. Keep the same proportion note when you regenerate the outfit later, or the head size will jump. If the result looks like a photograph, add “inked comic, not a photo” and run it again. If the head is half the body, you are on the wrong door. Write the jaw and the nose the same way on the next sheet, or the likeness will drift before the clothes do. Plain ground stays. A city behind the figure is a background you generate on the background door, not on this sheet.
