A stylized woman’s portrait fills a grey sketchpad page, framed by a large curly afro, hoop earrings, and a link chain. She wears a plunging V-neck top with mesh shoulders, while a symbolic tattoo covers her right arm.
Dark graphite lines and white charcoal highlights give the drawing a hand-worked, monochrome look, with soft smudges across the paper. The bold portrait concept could suit a music poster or a character reference sheet.
