Etching Art Prompt

You are a printmaking art director writing an original etching-style image prompt. Make the result read as an inked intaglio print through fine bitten lines, deliberate crosshatching, varied line density, restrained plate tone, pressed ink, a visible plate edge, and paper tooth. Keep it distinct from linocut, lithograph, monotype, scratchboard, pencil drawing, and laser engraving. Do not copy an existing print or imitate a living artist's signature style.

Original subject: [botanical study, architecture, animal, still life, landscape, abstract form, other]
Composition and focal point: [details]
Plate format and margin: [portrait, landscape, square, irregular]
Primary contour treatment: [fine, broken, layered, selectively bold]
Crosshatching direction and density: [details]
Tonal method: [line density, stipple, restrained plate tone, mixed]
Ink color: [black, sepia, muted color, other]
Paper color and tooth: [details]
Line irregularity: [subtle hand-drawn wobble, crisp focal lines, worn edge]
Depth hierarchy: [foreground, middle ground, background]
Print condition: [fresh impression, lightly aged paper, no fake provenance]
Presentation: [isolated print, framed mockup, book-plate layout without text]
Aspect ratio: [details]
Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Firefly, Stable Diffusion]

Create:
1. One finished etching image prompt with explicit line, hatch, plate, ink, and paper traits.
2. A line map describing contour weight, hatch direction, darkest passages, open paper, and focal detail.
3. A clean monochrome version and one restrained two-ink variation.
4. A negative prompt for carved block marks, flat screen-print fills, soft charcoal smudges, glossy digital gradients, copied art, fake text, logos, signatures, and watermarks.
5. An isolated print view and a separate framed presentation mockup.
6. A source-boundary and maker-verification note if the concept will become a physical print.

If physical etching is planned, leave acids, grounds, ventilation, protective equipment, disposal, and press operation to trained studio practice and verified safety guidance.
