Rough sketch

Prompt:
gritty black-and-white street portrait with heavy film grain, high contrast, and photocopy/zine texture. Scene is a city wall covered in layered torn posters, wheatpaste, and graffiti tags. The entire image is monochrome except for bold hand-drawn neon-yellow marker scribbles on top (like paint-pen tagging), thick strokes with uneven opacity.

SUBJECT (center-left):
A young woman (early 20s) shot from the waist/chest up, standing in front of the poster wall. She is turned mostly away from camera (body angled right), but her head is rotated back over her left shoulder, giving a strong side-eye look toward camera. Expression: calm, slightly intense, neutral lips. Face is softly lit with realistic pores, subtle shadow under cheekbone.

HAIR:
Long, wavy/curly hair with volume, medium-dark tone (renders as dark grey in B&W). Hair flows down her back and right shoulder, slightly messy strands around forehead.

OUTFIT:
Dark black turtleneck or high-neck sweater, matte fabric, minimal detail, blending into the dark tones. No logos.

BACKGROUND WALL (must match):
A dense collage of posters and text fragments. Large readable poster words in the background include “NIGHT” (appears multiple times) and other partial letters. Some posters are ripped, with visible paper edges, paste stains, and overlapping typography. The wall has random scribbles and grime, street texture, small sticker-like elements, and chaotic layering.

NEON-YELLOW SCRIBBLE OVERLAY (key feature):
Bright yellow marker doodles drawn over the entire frame:

  • Top area: long sweeping tag-like line across the upper edge.
  • Center: a rectangular outline around the word area (like a boxed highlight) plus a smaller
    “intro”-like scribble inside.
  • Left side: thick blocky strokes and diagonal hatch lines over poster text.
  • Right side: tall vertical yellow strokes, arrows, loops, and a big scribble cluster near the
    top-right.
  • The yellow marks look like real paint marker on a photo print—opaque, slightly streaky, hand-drawn, imperfect edges.

COMPOSITION & CAMERA:
Street photography feel, medium close portrait, subject centered slightly left, background fully filled by wall. Eye-level camera, 35–50mm look, shallow-to-medium depth (subject sharp, background slightly softened but still readable). No motion blur.

STYLE / FINISH:
Zine/photocopied editorial aesthetic, gritty monochrome, strong grain, subtle vignette, slight halation on highlights, micro-contrast in hair and posters. The yellow overlay is the only color (no other hues).

NEGATIVE RULES (STRICT):
No clean studio look, no modern minimal background, no extra people, no added props, no color other than the neon-yellow marker. Do not beautify or smooth skin. Do not remove grain. Keep the chaotic poster wall and all yellow scribbles exactly as described.
