Teen Drawing at Christmas — Warm Cozy Scene

Tags
Show a focused 16-year-old artist sitting at a small wooden desk drawing in sketchbooks, intent and relaxed, the image meant to convey cozy holiday creativity and quiet concentration; render as a vertical (9:16) photoreal digital painting with cinematic warmth. The teen is around sixteen, mixed ethnicity, shoulder-length dark brown hair tucked behind one ear, wearing a soft oversized knit sweater in muted red and faded jeans, seated three-quarters view facing slightly to the right of frame; one hand holds a pencil poised above a sketchbook, the other rests on the page for stability—subtle breath motion and a faint pencil smear on the finger show real activity. Place a warm desk lamp at upper-left of the desk casting a focused pool of warm amber light (#D98B2E) across the sketchbooks, pencils, paintbrushes in a tin cup, and a small ceramic mug with steam rising; the lamp light creates soft edged shadows and highlights textured paper grain and wooden desk grain. Behind and slightly to the right, include a medium-height Christmas tree with deep green needles (#124B2E), warm golden fairy lights and a few vintage glass ornaments in muted red and bronze (#B94A3A, #5C3A2E); the tree lights produce gentle backlit bokeh and soft golden rim light on the teen's shoulder and hair. Compose vertically: crop tight to fill most of 9:16 frame with the desk and tree, placing the teen slightly below center-left to leave vertical negative space above the tree for a sense of air and for potential copy; foreground elements (pencils, an open watercolor set, and an eraser) lie in shallow depth of field, slightly blurred, while the sketchbook and hands remain sharp. Light quality: warm, soft, intimate—lamp is the key light, tree lights give low-intensity fill and rim, ambient room light is dim and coolened to emphasize warmth; color temperature contrast between amber lamp and cooler shadow areas enhances depth. Textures should feel tactile: wool sweater fuzz, matte heavy-weight paper, brushed metal of pencil ferrules, and slightly glossy glass ornaments. Keep mood calm and focused, with natural subtle shadows on the face, a gentle smile of concentration, and no additional people or studio equipment visible.
