Cobalt Inked Portrait

The subject is the woman in the attached reference photo. Recreate her exact facial identity from its features - the same hairline, hairstyle, volume and texture, brow shape, eye shape and spacing, nose structure, lip shape, jawline and cheek structure, skin tone, and natural facial proportions - so she is unmistakably the same person even inside the ink style, her features kept beautiful and their true shape unchanged, her own hair from the reference kept exactly as it is with no colour or cut change and inked strand by strand. The reference photo's own lighting, background and clothing are entirely discarded; her face is lit only by this picture's own light.

COBALT CHIN DOWN. FIELD: a flat solid cobalt-blue background. INK: black and white only, hard cel shadows cut in clean shapes, a single white highlight plane on the forehead and nose bridge, the hair inked in thick confident black strands with white gaps. POSE: chest-up, head tilted slightly down with the eyes lifted to the viewer, shoulders square. WARDROBE: a black hoodie with the hood down, its drawstrings inked white. EXPRESSION: eyes level and intent under lowered brows, mouth closed and set - the look of someone who has already decided. LIGHT: a hard key from the upper left throws the cel shadows to the right and leaves both eyes lit and clear. Palette: cobalt, black, white. IDENTITY INSIDE THE INK: not a photograph - a bold graphic illustration with hard cel shading and crisp edges, no soft gradients - yet her face keeps every real feature exact and recognisable, eyes their real size, both eyes fully visible and never covered by hair, never cartooned, never anime, never simplified into a generic face; the style lives in the hard shadow shapes, the inked hair and the flat colour field, not in the structure of her face. The background is one flat solid colour to every edge with no texture, no gradient and no objects. Exactly one person in the picture and no one else. The expression is natural and human even in ink: the eyes and mouth agreeing on one held feeling, natural micro-asymmetry kept, never exaggerated, never a posed grin.
