Realistic Textured Photo Portrait

I need a highly detailed, true-to-life portrait created from a reference photo I will supply as soon as the project starts. The finished piece should capture fine textures—skin, hair, fabric, subtle lighting—so it stands up to large-format printing and close inspection.

I’ll print this at 11×14 in (or larger), so please work at 300 dpi or better. Digital painting in Photoshop, Procreate, or a comparable tool is perfectly fine; if you prefer traditional media, just be sure the final scan meets the same resolution and colour accuracy standards.

After I share the photo, a quick rough sketch for composition approval would be helpful before you dive into full rendering. I’d also appreciate one intermediate progress snapshot so any small corrections can happen along the way.

Deliverables:
• Final high-resolution file (layered PSD or TIFF plus a flattened PNG/JPEG ready for print)
• The approved rough sketch and one mid-progress image for reference

With those in place, I can send the piece straight to the printer and enjoy a gallery-quality result.
