Redraw a photo as a dramatic charcoal drawing

Use the image I've attached. Redraw it as a charcoal drawing on textured off-white paper, keeping the same subject, pose and composition. If there are people in it, keep their faces, features, hairstyles and expressions recognizably theirs, with each skin tone shown through the depth of its charcoal. Technique: soft vine charcoal for the gray middle tones, smudged and blended with a finger or a paper stump; compressed charcoal for rich, velvety blacks in the deepest shadows; highlights lifted out with a kneaded eraser, leaving soft white streaks; loose, energetic gestural lines around the edges, with the drawing fading into untouched paper; the paper's tooth showing through every tone. Push the light and shadow already in the image toward dramatic contrast. Keep it monochrome: black and gray on paper. Avoid clean vector lines, crosshatching, color and photographic smoothness. No signature, text or watermark. Format: {{aspect_ratio}}.
