## Prompt

```text
Create a 4:5 aspect ratio, highly detailed black-and-white graphite pencil portrait of a beautiful female subject standing near the ocean, shown from the chest up in a classic vintage style. She has soft expressive eyes gazing slightly off-camera, naturally arched eyebrows, defined lips slightly parted, and a calm, emotional expression that feels thoughtful, wistful, and quietly romantic. Her {hair_style}. She wears small delicate drop earrings and a {outfit}, subtle stitched floral detailing on the bodice, and gentle fabric folds. The background shows a calm ocean horizon with gentle waves and a simple wooden railing behind her, softly sketched with horizontal pencil strokes. Use realistic graphite shading, fine cross-hatching, visible pencil texture, soft paper grain, detailed hair strokes, subtle facial shadows, natural skin shading, and hand-drawn sketch realism. Keep the composition centered, chest-up framing, timeless romantic mood, elegant seaside atmosphere, highly detailed pencil artwork, monochrome, no color, no digital painting look. Features a subtle, elegant handwritten artist signature watermark text "Kinza" in the bottom corner.
