Subject: me (use accuracy, no changes), with no extra brightness on the face,
uploaded face 100% facial keeping my natural dark facial tone intact.
Create a gentle, hand-drawn watercolor and ink illustration scene set in a cozy café environment.
A young Indian man is seated at a small café table, captured in a candid, intimate moment. He rests his face lightly on one hand, elbow placed on the table, looking across the table toward another softly sketched figure
(the second person remains minimal, blurred, and non-detailed).
Pose & Expression:
The man sits in a relaxed posture, chin resting on his palm.
Head slightly tilted, eyes expressive and warm, conveying curiosity, affection, and quiet connection. Subtle, natural smile soft and genuine, not posed.
Outfit & Styling:
The man wears a simple traditional or semi-casual Indian outfit a light kurta or soft cotton shirt in pastel
tones (ivory, light beige, dusty blue, or muted peach).
Fabric appears loose and comfortable.
No accessories, no jewelry, no modern branding.
Scene & Props:
A teacup or coffee cup placed on the table in front of him.
Minimal café elements: table edge, glass, soft background furniture hinted with loose sketch lines. Background figures are abstract and lightly drawn, giving depth without distraction.
Art Style:
Hand-sketched ink outlines combined with soft watercolor washes.
Loose, expressive linework with visible pencil and ink strokes.
Watercolor bleeds and uneven shading for an organic, artistic feel.
Faces remain gentle and expressive, not hyper-detailed.
Color Palette & Mood:
Warm, muted pastel tones-cream, blush, soft brown, light charcoal.
Overall atmosphere is calm, romantic, nostalgic, and intimate.
Feels like a quiet conversation frozen in time.
Lighting:
Soft ambient indoor café lighting.
