Create a bold, expressive mixed-media portrait using the face from the uploaded photo as the base. The portrait should be a close-up headshot, front-facing with a slightly upward chin tilt to convey confidence and artistic intensity. The overall aesthetic must reflect a gritty, hand-sketched, graffiti-meets-urban-journal style, blending chaotic pencil sketch lines, vector-inspired technical scribbles, and bold brush strokes. Include: red translucent oversized round sunglasses with intense reflections and abstract shading; an orange-red jacket or clothing element for strong contrast against the dark tonal base; a background made of beige/sepia paper-like texture overlaid with architectural and geometric grid lines, red circles, intersecting sketch lines, technical diagrams, and abstract scribbles. High-contrast lighting emphasizing shadows around the cheekbones, jawline, and neck to make the facial structure dramatic and dominant. A hand-drawn, raw, gritty shading style with inked outlines and deep black shadows, almost like charcoal or graphite. Scribbles and abstract line patterns extend from the hair and edges of the face into the background for a raw, kinetic energy; include smudges, noise, and digital grain for a tactile, physical feel, like a scanned-in piece of street art or sketchbook collage. The mood should reflect urban energy, creative defiance, and artistic rebellion. The face must match the uploaded photo exactly, preserving skin tone, facial features, and personal identity, just stylized with the described techniques. Maintain the natural hair texture and integrate it into the chaotic linework. Use a neutral expression with confidence, no smile, just calm strength and stylish baldness. Composition should be centered, chest-level up with shoulders slightly visible, with the head dominating the frame. The final piece should feel like a modern street-art poster meets fine-art sketchbook portrait.
