Hair is rendered using layered flowing brush strokes with natural volume and individual strand definition. Clothing combines broad painterly strokes with selective detail, emphasizing {clothing_style} rather than excessive texture. A clean contemporary fine-art illustration style inspired by high-end editorial portrait paintings, museum-quality digital artwork, ultra-detailed yet painterly, crisp edges with soft organic transitions, premium matte finish, expressive handcrafted brushwork, harmonious composition, vertical composition (9:16), no text, no typography, no signature, no initials, no logo, no watermark, no frame.
