Transform my hand-drawn sketch into a digital illustration in the Art Nouveau style, influenced by Alphonse Mucha. The sketch depicts a portrait of a young woman with flowing red hair. I want the final output to have a whimsical and elegant mood. The illustration should be highly detailed, with a focus on the woman’s expressive eyes and flowing hair. Use a color palette that evokes a warm and inviting feeling. Place the subject against an abstract background with swirling floral patterns and textures. Use soft, diffused lighting.
**Tips for Best Results:**
