About the process

It began with hand sketches in search of ideas on the theme: art, science, and older adults. Subsequently, a sketch was chosen and worked on using the pastel technique. This image was captured and uploaded to ChatGPT through a series of prompts that sought greater realism and definition. Several proposals were achieved, which were then worked on in Canva and merged.
