Turn a photo into a graphite pencil study

Use the image I've attached. Redraw it as a graphite pencil study on a sketchbook page, 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 shading. Technique: light construction lines and proportion marks still visible under the finished drawing; shading built from parallel hatching and crosshatching that follows the form, from a hard pencil for pale tones to a soft, dark pencil for the deepest shadows; the silvery sheen of layered graphite in the darks; a few areas blended smooth with a paper stump; crisp, careful detail at the focal point, such as the eyes or the main object, dissolving into quick, sketchy lines toward the edges. Show the whole page flat-on: cream paper with a fine grain and a soft graphite smudge near one margin. Keep it monochrome gray. Avoid deep charcoal blacks, ink lines, color and a photographic finish. No notes, text, signature or watermark. Format: {{aspect_ratio}}.
