María — 1920s Portrait

A 1920s-inspired portrait of my acquaintance María, designed to be displayed alongside Emilio’s portrait as a matching pair.

Created traditionally using pencil, ink and ink washes, then finished digitally with subtle sepia tones.

Breakdown included: sketch → ink → washes → final.
