[Mixed media sketch of a seated woman in a vibrant red robe, holding a playing card between her teeth and looking directly...
This expressive mixed media fine art sketch uses detailed charcoal cross-hatching and soft watercolor washes, with a striking pop of saturated red reserved for the subject's silky flowing robe. The seated female figure with long dark hair appears mid poker game, holding a card between her lips as she shuffles a deck in her hands, with blurred bokeh stage lights creating a moody, cinematic intimate background. The monochrome gray tones of the figure and surroundings contrast sharply with the bold red garment to draw immediate focus to the subject.

Tried the style on an iconic scene from an old Hong Kong movie. Love how the effect turns out. Thanks @justrob for sharing the style.
