sketchwave style, A close-up portrait of a wiry older woman shown from the chest up against a flat warm cream background, in three-quarter view facing slightly right, head tilted down with her eyes lifted to look directly at the viewer from beneath her brow — a steady, unimpressed expression with a faint smirk at one corner of her mouth. A thin scar runs from her left temple down across her cheekbone. Her skin is weathered tan and ochre with deep cool olive-grey shadows in the hollows of her cheeks, around the eyes, and along the jaw, light coming from the upper left. Her hair is iron-grey streaked with darker charcoal, pulled back tight from her face into a low knot at the nape, a few loose strands escaping at the temples. Small silver hoop earrings catch the light. A thin hand-rolled cigarette is held between her teeth at the corner of her mouth, a curl of pale grey smoke rising past her ear. She wears a worn deep-indigo denim jacket with the collar turned up, the fabric showing lighter wear-marks at the shoulders and seams, over a faded mustard-yellow henley unbuttoned at the throat. A small dark tattoo of a bird is just visible on the side of her neck. A weathered leather cord with a single small bone pendant hangs around her collar. Palette: cream background, weathered tan and ochre skin, sepia-brown linework, iron-grey and charcoal hair, deep indigo denim, faded mustard henley, pale grey smoke, olive-grey shadows, small silver accents.
