THE VISUAL RECIPE

Understand the idea

Art direction: Premium hand-painted 2D cartoon, lively but individual eyes, clean expressive contours, layered brush texture and restrained stylization. Not a flat vector icon or a generic doll face.
Composition: A chest-up portrait with comfortable headroom, a gentle three-quarter turn and an uncluttered cream background. Keep the face as the focal point.
Light & materials: Soft warm key light, gentle cheek shading and a subtle hair rim light.
Check the result: Check that each subject is recognizable, the count is correct, hands and eyes are coherent, and the style is painted rather than flat clip art. Preserve supplied skin tone, hairstyle and distinctive marks.
