Style Notes

Illustration
Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
Soft Light
Diffused, low-contrast lighting — gentle shadows and flattering skin tones, like window light or an overcast day.
Texture Rich
Surfaces carry the image — weave, grain, roughness rendered up close; often combined with macro or close-up framing.
Blog Illustration
Editorial spot art: a clear concept metaphor, friendly palette, and enough negative space to sit beside an article headline.
Social Media Post
Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
