Silk in Pencil — Saree Illustration

Create a graceful graphite illustration of an adult Indian woman in a traditionally draped saree. Compose a waist-up portrait with a calm expression and a slight turn of the shoulders. Use delicate pencil pressure around the eyes and lips, broader shading for the folds, and sparse precise lines for the embroidered border. Keep the fabric drape structurally plausible and the jewelry small enough to support the face as the focal point. Let the background remain mostly blank with a very light tonal wash. Preserve subtle asymmetry, realistic hand anatomy, and the tactile grain of drawing paper. OUTPUT: Vertical 4:5 composition with a clear focal point and clean edges. If a reference photograph is supplied, preserve the adult subject’s recognizable features while applying the described art treatment. Avoid duplicated features, extra fingers, malformed anatomy, watermarks, logos, and accidental text. The preview image is an inspiration reference; results may vary.
