Adult in Round Glasses · Frame Cast Shadows

A portrait that reveals the space between glasses and skin through the placement and curvature of frame cast shadows.

Style guide

Adult in Round Glasses · Frame Cast Shadows

Shape & line
Draw the two round rims as thin, continuous metal contours joined by a small bridge across the nose. Let the lower rims visibly stand away from the cheeks, and keep the eyes anatomically coherent behind the clear lenses.
Color & light
Place a compact key light above and to image-left. Illuminate the image-left forehead and cheek, and cast the glasses' shadows downward toward image-right onto the nose and upper cheeks. Show a visible gap between each lower rim and its shadow rather than tracing a dark outline directly beneath the metal.
Texture & material
Give the metal a few restrained bright accents and paint the skin with soft tonal transitions and light natural grain. Keep the frame shadows darker than the surrounding skin; bend their paths over the nose and cheek surfaces, with slightly softer edges where the frame sits farther from the skin.
Composition
Center the face with the eyes in the upper half of the image, and keep the background and shirt low in contrast. Concentrate crisp detail around the rims, eyes and upper cheeks so the viewer can distinguish the physical frame from the displaced shadow at a glance.

Priority
Prioritize the visible separation and surface-following paths of the frame shadows.

What to avoid & what to check

Avoid opaque lenses, doubled metal rims and shadows that float off the face.

Check that the frame shadows fall down toward image-right and curve across the skin independently of the rims.

Exact prompt for this example
SUBJECT
One adult with short dark hair, thin round metal glasses and a plain gray shirt. The glasses sit forward of the cheeks, with the bridge resting on the nose; clear lenses leave both eyes readable. The adult has a relaxed, closed-mouth expression.

COMPOSITION
An eye-level, nearly frontal head-and-shoulders portrait on a plain warm-gray background. Keep the entire glasses frame and both cheeks visible, with enough space below the eyes to clearly read the shadows.

PRIORITY
Preserve the requested identity, count, action, composition and output settings. Apply the style rules within those constraints; a style reference must not replace the subject or layout. Within the style: Prioritize the visible separation and surface-following paths of the frame shadows.

AVOID
Avoid opaque lenses, doubled metal rims and shadows that float off the face.

OUTPUT
One image in a vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, rendered as a realistic digital painting, with no text, labels or watermark.

SELF-CHECK
Check that the frame shadows fall down toward image-right and curve across the skin independently of the rims.
