Create:
1. A finished charcoal drawing image prompt.
2. A loose vine-charcoal study and a darker compressed-charcoal version.
3. A value map and edge hierarchy for the composition.
4. A negative prompt for graphite sheen, ink outlines, oily paint texture, uniform blur, muddy values, copied art, text, and watermarks.
5. Notes on paper tooth, pressure, erased highlights, dust, fixative appearance, and focal contrast.
6. A check that the result reads as physical charcoal rather than a grayscale photograph.

Preserve visible mark making and clean light areas; do not smooth every transition.
