European Graphic Novel Watercolor Illustration

Create an illustration in a hand-drawn European graphic-novel style with soft watercolor washes and fine ink linework. Use a muted vintage color palette dominated by teal, turquoise, warm ochre, dusty orange, faded red, and desaturated sky blue. Lines must be slightly irregular and organic, like pen on textured paper, with visible sketch imperfections. Compose the scene with {camera_perspective}, with strong storytelling focus on a solitary character engaged in {craft_activity}. Lighting should feel natural and nostalgic: warm sunlight with gentle shadows, soft gradients in the sky, and subtle bloom around highlights. Textures must resemble real paper grain, watercolor bleed, and pencil under-sketch. Avoid sharp digital cleanliness—keep a lived-in, slightly worn atmosphere. Backgrounds should be detailed but airy, with {setting}. Human figures are expressive but semi-realistic with slightly caricatured proportions: long noses, relaxed postures, humble clothing. Overall mood: calm, reflective, poetic slice-of-life, as if from a classic illustrated novel.
