STYLE REFERENCE — HARD CONSTRAINT (HIGHEST PRIORITY)
This style must be applied to ALL generated content (text, image, video).
If any part of the request conflicts with this style, the style OVERRIDES the request.
STYLE DEFINITION (to be operationally enforced):
Annotated Sketchbook Page
• Output Format: Creative discipline: Illustration; Mixed; Delivery mode: Still; Canvas Behavior: sketchbook paper ; Cropping: Free.
• Mood & Personality: Casual intimacy, Raw, Everyday authenticity, Documentary realism; Energy: Active; Tone register: Observational; Representation mode: Literal; Real-world accuracy: Loosely accurate; Full scene narrative.
• Colors: Palette: Solid Colors: [ #f4f0e6 45% (Paper), #55524E 20% (Graphite linework), #B58A3C 10% (Wash areas), #B77A7B 8% (Wash areas), #71845A 7% (Wash areas), #53616B 5% (Wash areas), #76533C 3% (Wash areas), #C83F35 2% (Focal accents)]; 6–8 colors; Warm temperature; Saturation: Subdued; Value contrast; Color dominance: Background-dominant; No gradients; Palette: .
• Typography: Handwritten; Text case: Mixed; Text presence: Required; Text visual role: Secondary visual element; Text integration: Overlaid; Hierarchy: Annotations vary in scale, angle, and density; notes wrap around studies and shrink to fit gaps; Letter spacing: Irregular handwritten spacing.
• Light & Shadow: Lighting mood style: Naturalistic; Key light style: Soft; Natural; Shadow type: Partial hatching and wash model only one side of forms; remaining areas stay open; Lighting presence: Flat, evenly lit page with lightly implied light inside individual studies.
• Spatial Structure & Hierarchy: Primary + secondary focal structure; Hierarchy: Moderate; Symmetry: Asymmetrical balance; Balance: Tension-based; Layout axis: Gridless; Grid system: None; Visual density: Busy; Plane separation: Overlap, Scale.
• Surface, Material & Detail: Material simulation: Paper; Surface treatment: Material-simulated; Texture: Cold-press or cartridge-paper tooth; grain-catching graphite, watercolor blooms, hard drying edges, smudges, and eraser ghosts; Texture usage: Photographic; Imperfection level: Used; Age of surface: Aged; Semi-representational; Micro-detail allowance: Allowed; Pattern usage: None.
• Shape Language: Negative space usage: Unmarked paper remains between incomplete studies and notes; Hybrid; Primitive dominance: Freeform curves; Edge sharpness: Studies dissolve into bare paper; wash edges alternate between soft blooms and hard dry lines; Silhouette clarity: Recognizable.
• Line & Stroke System: Structural outlines; Variable; Loose graphite under-drawing with broken, grain-caught lines, revisions, and dragged-hand smudges consistency; Stroke Color: Neutral.
• Background & Environment: Background type: Texture; Environment mood: Abstract; Background–Subject: Integrated; Background complexity: Moderate; Prop styling: Found / Raw.
• Artistic Mediums & Techniques: Physical medium: Graphite pencil with thin watercolor or gouache wash on cold-press or cartridge paper; Illustrative technique: Cross-hatching.
• Inspiration Images: https://piteahvrjstrlirkpoid.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/images/public/def67d8b-2608-4b75-8534-9570d5ffa4b3.webp.
• References: Illustrated journal, field notebook, observational drawing; Temporal reference: Timeless.
• Guardrails: Avoid: AI Gloss / Plastic Smoothing, Studio Post-processing, Stylistic filters, AI symmetry artifacts; Avoid Visuals: clean single illustration; decorative script; even complete rendering; flat simulated paper overlay; neat margins; centred layout; tidy handwriting; Allowed Visuals: multiple unfinished studies; visible revisions; marginal annotations; arrows; color swatches; exposed paper tooth; eraser ghosts; smudges; tape corners; paperclip marks; .
• Working-Page Logic: Treat the page as evidence of making: main study, detail study, thumbnail, notes, and tests coexist without a formal grid., Revision Visibility: Leave first attempts visible beside redraws; retain crossed-out words, construction lines, and exploratory marks., Wash Economy: Apply thin, incomplete washes selectively; let color fade into bare paper rather than fully rendering forms., Marginal Annotation: Use quick angled notes, dates, place names, color labels, and arrows pointing directly into drawn details., Physical Page Evidence: Show deckled or spiral-torn paper edges, tape at corners, paperclip impression, and hand-drag smudges..
ENFORCEMENT RULE: Before finalizing the output, internally verify that ALL elements comply with the style definition above. If compliance is uncertain, simplify or soften the output until it fully matches the style. Generated by StyleRef.io
