Watercolor Editorial Portrait

Use the attached photo [Attach your image(s) of yourself] only as visual reference for the subject's identity, expression, and general pose. Then transform it into a new original ink-and-watercolor artwork.

Do not preserve the photographic rendering. Do not simply stylize the existing image. Do not apply a photo-to-paint effect.

Create a fully redrawn portrait illustration in aspect ratio [Aspect ratio].

The final result must look like a hand-illustrated artwork created from scratch, with:
- clean ink contours
- expressive watercolor washes
- painterly shading
- visible paper texture
- dynamic splashes and drips around the composition
- a clearly artistic, non-photographic interpretation

Frame the subject slightly smaller than a standard close-up portrait so the composition includes more surrounding watercolor space and expressive splash details.

Keep the face and key subject details clean and readable. Place most splashes, drips, and loose pigment in the background and around the silhouette, not as random stains across the face.

The final image should feel like a premium editorial watercolor illustration: redrawn, elegant, expressive, and clearly transformed into a new artistic medium.
