Create a portrait of a young woman using an ethereal approach with extremely subtle tonal variations. The piece should maintain its gradient transition from center to edges, but with a softer, more delicate range of values. Color and tone treatment: Core palette: Work within a nearly monochromatic range of cool greys, avoiding stark blacks Maximum darkness: Use gentle charcoal grey (80% grey) as the darkest tone instead of pure black Turquoise accents: Soften the blue to a pale, crystalline turquoise (reduce saturation by 40%) Fill values: Keep all fills between 10-40% opacity for a gossamer effect Gradient transition specifics: Face area: Use fills no darker than 40% opacity, building depth through layered translucent tones Upper torso: Begin with 30% opacity fills, complemented by fine line work Mid-composition: Reduce to 20% opacity with increasing emphasis on linear elements Edges: Fade to 5-0% opacity using only the most delicate scattered lines Technical approach: Layer multiple transparent fills rather than single opaque ones Use crosshatching with very light line weight (0.1mm) to build subtle shadows Employ stippling at 10% opacity for the most gentle gradients Create texture through the interplay of negative space and gossamer-light marks Keep edges soft and diffused, avoiding hard lines except in the most crucial facial features Render the jacket using primarily loose, transparent layers that suggest rather than define the material The final effect should feel like viewing the subject through a light mist, with the image emerging from and dissolving back into the white of the paper in a completely organic way.

In the style of M.C. Escher, surreal imaginative transformation on a wide panoramic canvas: on the far left, a single woman walks her dog on a leash across a perfectly aligned checkerboard ground of greys and whites. Moving left to right, the dog gradually morphs into the woman, while the woman morphs into the dog. At the midpoint they are one fused human-canine hybrid, with clear symmetrical transformation details. By the right side, the roles have reversed — the former dog is now human walking the former woman, now a dog. The checkerboard floor recedes in precise perspective but twists subtly toward the center, creating an optical illusion. Finely detailed black-and-white ink lines, crosshatching texture, mathematically perfect geometry, ultra-high detail
