Create a high-resolution vertical 3:4 mixed-media sketchbook artwork combining a photorealistic paper-cut figure, hand-drawn notebook lines, and tactile editorial collage.
INTENDED USE
A gallery-ready conceptual illustration about sleep, imagination, vulnerability, and a human figure dissolving into the lines of a notebook page.
SCENE
Place one open ruled notebook diagonally across a weathered wooden tabletop. Let the notebook occupy almost the entire frame, with its top edge angled upward toward the right. Show warm off-white paper, thin blue-gray horizontal rules, a visible center fold, slightly uneven page edges, subtle creases, and natural contact shadows against the timber.
MAIN SUBJECT
Create one original, non-identifiable female-presenting young adult, apparently in her early-to-mid 20s, with a slender build and light warm-neutral skin. Show her sleeping on her left side across the upper-left half of the notebook page.
Give her a softly rounded oval face seen mostly in side profile, closed eyes, relaxed lips, and a calm sleeping expression. Keep facial detail restrained and non-identifying. Style her hair as long, thick, dark brown-to-black waves spreading broadly across the pillow and upper notebook lines, with loose curled strands and believable individual hair texture.
WARDROBE
Dress her in one bright mustard-yellow sleeveless top with narrow double shoulder straps and a clean angular back panel. Use yellow #D8B62F for the garment, with soft fabric shading, natural seams, and realistic contact against the shoulder and upper torso.
POSE
Rest her head on one small pale gray pillow near the upper-left page area. Tuck one forearm beneath or beside the cheek and keep the other arm bent naturally close to the torso. Preserve coherent shoulder, elbow, hand, and neck anatomy. Let the body extend diagonally toward the lower-right but transition gradually into the drawn notebook surface instead of remaining fully photographic.
LINE-TO-BLANKET TRANSFORMATION
Transform the lower torso and concealed legs into a flowing blanket made from the notebook’s horizontal ruled lines. Begin with a pale crumpled paper shape around the waist and gradually convert the straight notebook rules into soft undulating contours that suggest layered bedding, folds, and gentle breathing.
Keep the transition seamless: the photographic figure should appear to sink into the paper while the blue-gray lines become the blanket. Use pale paper gray #D8DCE2 for the folded bedding, line blue-gray #7D8791 for the rules, and soft graphite #596068 for contour accents.
COMPOSITION
Use a slightly elevated overhead viewpoint. Place the sleeping figure across the upper-left and center of the page, with the flowing line-blanket extending through the lower-right half. Leave visible ruled-paper negative space around the head, hair, shoulder, and lower blanket.
Let the notebook edges and wooden tabletop frame the scene naturally. Preserve the strong diagonal page orientation and the visual contrast between photographic human detail and simple hand-drawn lines.
CAMERA AND DEPTH
Use a 45–60mm close environmental lens look from a high three-quarter angle. Keep the figure, central page, and line transformation crisp. Allow the outer notebook corners and surrounding tabletop to soften slightly while retaining recognizable wood grain and page texture.
LIGHTING
Use soft natural daylight from the upper left with gentle ambient fill. Create delicate highlights on the hair, cheek, shoulder, pillow, and raised page folds. Add realistic soft shadows beneath the hair, arm, notebook edges, and crumpled paper bedding. Keep the exposure light, calm, and evenly readable.
COLOR
Use warm notebook white #ECECE8 for the pages, blue-gray #7D8791 for ruled lines, weathered wood beige #A9987B for the tabletop, dark charcoal-brown #252323 for the hair, warm skin peach #D8A08D for the broad complexion direction without flattening natural variation, mustard yellow #D8B62F for the top, pale pillow gray #D7DBDE, and graphite gray #596068 for drawn contours and soft shadows.
MATERIALS AND FINISH
Render natural skin texture, believable hair strands, woven fabric, lightly fibrous notebook paper, crumpled page folds, graphite and ink marks, faint printing imperfections, scratched wood grain, and small handmade collage irregularities. Keep the human figure photorealistic while the bedding remains clearly paper-based and hand-drawn.
STYLE AND MOOD
Create an intimate contemporary mixed-media illustration with poetic surrealism, restrained color, tactile notebook realism, and quiet emotional storytelling. The result should feel handmade, contemplative, tender, and sophisticated rather than cartoonish or digitally smooth.
PRESERVE
Exactly one sleeping figure, one pillow, one open ruled notebook, one wooden tabletop, one yellow sleeveless top, one mass of dark wavy hair, and one lower-body transformation into flowing notebook-line bedding. Preserve the diagonal notebook placement, side-sleeping pose, upper-left figure placement, and pale minimal palette.
TEXT AND IDENTITY
Remove the visible artist signature and any source identity marks. No readable text, letters, numbers, names, logos, signatures, stamps, branding, captions, or watermarks anywhere.
CONSTRAINTS
No extra people, limbs, faces, pillows, notebooks, pens, books, furniture, flowers, animals, decorative objects, or unrelated props. Avoid identifiable likeness, visible open eyes, malformed hands, duplicated fingers, distorted shoulders, disconnected hair, abrupt collage seams, fully photographic bedding, flat vector lines, plastic skin, heavy retouching, muddy whites, harsh shadows, excessive blur, clutter, and accidental typography.
OUTPUT
One clean high-resolution vertical 3:4 artwork with coherent anatomy, tactile paper and wood detail, a seamless photo-to-line transformation, and a polished gallery-ready finish.
