Recommended settings

Midjourney: --ar 21:9 --style raw --v 7 --s 350
Flux: guidance 3, 32 steps
SDXL: CFG 5.5, 40 steps, add a cinematic LoRA at 0.6 weight
Finish with a subtle halation and 2% grain pass.

For this subject: Vary the line weight; uniform graphite reads as a digital filter rather than drawing.
  • Leave construction lines and eraser marks visible — a perfect sketch looks like a traced photo.
  • Describe the lighting itself — "hard low side-key with deep negative fill" locks a cinematic look without naming a real person.
  • Ask for one light source only; cinematic images live on contrast.
  • Add "negative fill on camera left" for deeper, more expensive-looking shadows.
