Prompt:
A rule-of-thirds minimalist illustration in a liquid, expressive mixed-media style — translucent wet-on-wet alcohol inks, pouring medium, fine ink linework, and softly controlled abstract splashes. The composition remains airy and luminous, with motion suggested through flowing pigment and gentle diffusion rather than hard contours.
The subject is a close-up portrait of a young Chinese woman, shown in a three-quarter view. Her skin is noticeably more sun-bronzed, glowing with a deep, warm tan rendered in layered translucent washes of golden bronze (Pantone 7554 C) and sun-kissed amber (Pantone 7551 C), with soft highlights in pale ivory (Pantone 468 C). The complexion feels heated by summer light, smooth and radiant rather than glossy.
Her haircut is a very short pixie cut, clean and close to the head, sharply asymmetrical and deliberately minimal. The hair color is a vivid amber-gold (Pantone 7555 C) with bright honey highlights (Pantone 7402 C) and subtle resin-brown shadows (Pantone 7552 C). The shortest sections are rendered with crisp ink strokes, while the edges dissolve into fluid ink wisps and light splashes, keeping the look dynamic and modern.
Her lips are full and confident, painted in a saturated summer red (Pantone 186 C) with translucent highlights that suggest warmth and vitality. The expression is serene and intelligent — calm eyes, relaxed mouth, an air of quiet self-assurance.
Her eyes are clear and thoughtful, a celeste-amber blend: soft sky blue (Pantone 543 C) infused with warm golden undertones (Pantone 7551 C). Subtle ink halos around the irises enhance the sense of focus and clarity without drama.
She wears smooth jade earrings, glowing in cool emerald tones (Pantone 5565 C), providing a fresh chromatic contrast to the warm skin and hair palette.
Lighting is distinctly summery and uplifting. Warm light falls from above and slightly to the side, bathing her face in golden clarity while keeping shadows light and breathable in soft smoke gray (Pantone 431 C).
The background is predominantly white (Pantone 663 C), animated by faint watercolor blooms and drifting splashes in diluted amber, pale turquoise (Pantone 3255 C), and warm beige. Fine ink lines curve gently through the negative space, reinforcing balance and optimism.
Mood: sun-drenched, serene, intelligent, and confident. A portrait that celebrates summer warmth, clarity of mind, and understated strength, where abstraction amplifies light and positivity.
