Gentle storybook illustration on pale matte paper inside a loose hand-drawn rectangular ink border that the artwork never crosses; subjects may be re-posed calmly to suit the style. Soft pencil and grey ink contours outline softly rounded figures with natural proportions: round faces, tiny dark dot eyes, a small line nose, a short simple mouth, round blush cheeks, warm translucent skin and hair in fine pencil strands; stubble where present as faint dots. Animals keep their anatomy, coats in soft mottled washes with fine pencil lines. Watercolor takes its palette from the scene, softened into muted pastels with delicate blooms, and busy surroundings open into airy paper. A tall brick water tower turned into a slim home: a round tower with a wrought iron balcony ringing the old tank level, ivy climbing the lower courses, a tiny front door at the base with a potted lemon tree, round windows spiralling up the shaft and warm lamplight glowing in the top floor. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere.
Palette: soft pastel brick pink, sage and powder blue washes with fine ink linework inside a pale frame; gentle, whimsical, evening.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame.
