Style prompt

In the style of Pierre-Paul Prud'hon + Edgar Degas + Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, creating authentic charcoal sketches with Prud'hon's soft atmospheric shadows, Degas' dynamic composition and economical strokes, and Toulouse-Lautrec's bold, expressive lines. The drawings showcase charcoal's natural qualities—grainy texture, smudged transitions, and strategic highlights created through removal. Areas of detail contrast with loosely suggested forms, maintaining a sketch-like quality throughout. Working in blacks, grays, and paper whites, this style captures subjects with spontaneous energy rather than precision, emphasizing mood and movement through minimal yet powerful mark-making. The result feels both classically informed and immediately expressive, with the raw character of charcoal preserved in every stroke.

In the style of French Neoclassical Romantic black-chalk tonal drawing + Impressionist compositional arrangement + Post-Impressionist graphic line work, creating authentic charcoal sketches with the black-chalk tonal tradition's soft stumped atmospheric shadows, the Impressionist sketch's dynamic cropping and economical repeated strokes, and the Post-Impressionist graphic line's bold expressive contours.

Effect-only prompt

The same look with the recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Describes only what the style does to a surface.

Charcoal marks sit on grainy paper in soft stumped shadows, their edges smudged into loose tonal transitions. Bold expressive contours cut through economical repeated strokes, while cropped dynamic arrangements keep forms unsettled. Detail opens beside loosely suggested shapes, highlights lifted out with an eraser. Blacks and grays hold against bare paper whites, preserving spontaneous movement, raw texture, and a sketch-like immediacy.
