Create ONE VERTICAL 3:4 image as one continuous composition, entirely rendered as a hand-painted-style COLOR GOUACHE ILLUSTRATION on white Korean hanji with selective expressive ink lines. This is a digitally created painting, not photography or film simulation. Use opaque matte colors, economical brushwork, dry-brush edges, and subtle paper fibers. Avoid heavy mottled overlays and tinted monochrome. Show a distinct full-color subject against a white background.

1. Reference identity
Use PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's person reference as the sole facial identity source. Preserve recognizable facial proportions, underlying skin tone, apparent adult age, natural asymmetry, and distinctive identity cues. Let the reference define facial anatomy directly; do not redesign or idealize her face or substitute an actress's face. Preserve reference-visible body proportions or use plausible adult anatomy. Paint the face in the same medium as the body; do not paste in a photographic face. Do not copy the source clothing, lighting, or background.

2. Hair
Use TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Fully replace the reference hairstyle with a compact, straight, dark-brown, jaw-length bob inspired by Mathilda's haircut silhouette in Leon. Dense, blunt, horizontal bangs end clearly above the eyebrows, with no center opening or curtain-bang split. A subtle central part exists only behind the continuous fringe. Keep low crown volume, smooth close sides, a loose untied structure, gently inward-turning jaw-length ends, and a short, clean nape. All ends remain above the shoulders; no long strands fall onto the chest or back. Paint a near-black hair mass with a few dark-brown planes and dry-brush gaps. Remove conflicting reference-hair features without changing facial identity or adult age.

3. Composition and front-facing pose
Make a distant full-length portrait containing the whole head, both hands and props, both legs, and complete boot soles. Reduce the entire figure and both carried props together to approximately 60% of the frame height. Reserve the TOP 25% as uninterrupted blank white hanji: the highest hair point begins 25% down from the top, and the lowest boot sole ends at 85%. Leave 15% below the soles. Center the figure horizontally with broad side margins. No hair, leaves, eaves, architecture, or decoration may enter the upper blank quarter. Keep complete props inside the frame and orchid leaves below shoulder height.

Use painted perspective like a distant 70 mm view, a waist-height viewpoint, and a level frame. Keep proportions natural and the face, hands, and props readable. Background softness comes from diluted ink, not optical bokeh.

The head and body face fully forward. She stands still with an upright spine and relaxed shoulders. Her feet are hip-width apart, soles planted; the right foot is slightly forward, weight is more on the left leg, and the right knee is relaxed.

The anatomical LEFT hand, on the viewer's RIGHT, holds the orchid pot beside the lower waist. Bend the elbow; the palm and curved fingers support the pot's base, and the thumb stabilizes its side. The anatomical RIGHT hand, on the viewer's LEFT, carries the bundle low beside the outer right thigh. Four fingers wrap around a secure cloth loop beneath the knot, with the thumb opposing them; align the wrist with the weight and keep the elbow nearly straight. Neither prop hides the face, red collar, or central skirt.

4. Expression and painted makeup
Give her a direct gaze, guarded defiance, and restrained fatigue. Her eyelids are slightly lowered but her eyes remain open; brows are relaxed with slight inward focus. Lips are lightly closed, corners neutral, with no smile. Keep cheeks and jaw relaxed, without anger or tears.

Paint the reference skin tone with restrained warm and cool planes. Use minimal matte makeup: natural brows, faint taupe lash shading, separated lashes, subtle rose-beige cheeks, and natural rose lips. Change surface color only, never facial geometry.

5. Clothing and color contrast
Contrast Korean clothing, military streetwear, and punk footwear through color and brushwork.

Mini hanbok: ivory cotton jeogori with overlapping front panels, a recognizable curved Korean collar, narrow goreum ties, and a relaxed fit. Only the narrow collar band is vivid vermilion red. Charcoal cotton chima with gathered pleats, a secure waistband, and an opaque hem clearly above the knees. Keep the recognizable jeogori-and-chima construction; no Western blouse, school uniform, slit, or lifted hem. Use simple ivory planes and charcoal folds.

Open MA-1 bomber in pale olive khaki, visibly colored even at low saturation. Paint it with opaque khaki gouache, restrained olive shadow planes, and broad broken brushstrokes; do not make it gray, beige-only, or translucent watercolor. Give it waist-length rounded volume, a rib-knit neckline, cuffs and waistband, a front zipper, and simple utility pockets. The open front reveals the red collar and ties. The left elbow folds compress; the right sleeve pulls downward with the load. Use broad matte highlights to distinguish nylon from cotton. No orange lining, logos, or patches.

Black fishnet tights cover both legs continuously beneath the skirt and into the boots. Use fine, dark intersecting ink lines over natural skin-colored gouache planes. Keep the diamond openings visible. Mesh follows leg curvature and compresses around bent areas; never paint the legs as solid-black masses.

Black lace-up combat boots reach the lower calves, with thick soles, intact laces, and worn leather. Use bold black shapes with sparse gray-brown dry-brush seams and laces to balance the dark bob. Both soles share one ground plane.

6. Orchid pot and medicine-pot bundle
On the viewer's RIGHT, show one small upright tapered, unglazed gray-brown Korean orchid pot. A Hyeran orchid has long, narrow, GREEN strap-shaped leaves rising from a common base and bending in varied natural curves. Combine olive-green and deeper-green gouache strokes with a few tapered ink contours. Keep clear gaps between leaves; no black-only foliage, plum branches, red buds, or flowers. Leaves stay below shoulder height and clear of the face and collar. The supporting hand visibly contacts the pot base.

On the viewer's LEFT, show one plain pale stone-gray cotton bojagi bundle enclosing a small dark-brown traditional ceramic herbal-medicine pot. Give it a rounded weighted lower shape, with folds descending from the carrying grip and tightening beneath the vessel. A small upper opening reveals the brown ceramic lid edge and short spout. The cloth securely wraps beneath the pot and carries its weight. Paint its folds as simple gray planes with selective ink accents. No milk cartons, bottles, or shopping bags.

7. Background, implied light, and spatial logic
Imagine a quiet Joseon residential lane on a calm, dry, overcast late-autumn morning. Leave most white hanji unpainted. At one far side only, suggest a short wall and a fragment of low roof eaves with sparse pale-gray ink lines, incomplete shapes, and controlled ink diffusion. Keep the background much lighter than the subject. No detailed village, crowds, signs, trees, sun, or moon. Architecture must avoid the head and props; keep the headroom white paper.

Imply broad overcast-sky lighting, strongest from the viewer's upper LEFT. Use lighter upper-left-facing planes on the face, hands, khaki sleeves, and pots, with gentle darker planes opposite. Keep one shading direction throughout; no face spotlight, rim glow, or photographic reflections.

Place a few pale-gray dry-brush ground marks beneath the soles. Compact contact washes anchor the boots; a faint short painted shadow extends toward the viewer's lower RIGHT. Hanji white is intentionally unpainted surface, not clipped exposure. Keep anatomy, gravity, garment folds, and hand-object contact coherent within the simplified illustration.

8. Essential direction
Show a recognizable adult woman whose identity is defined by the reference, standing fully front-facing with both props. Keep the top quarter blank and the entire figure only 60% of canvas height. Make the styling readable through opaque khaki, ivory, vermilion, charcoal, and green. Dark hair and boots contrast with fine mesh and leaves. Use a carefully painted face, broader clothing strokes, and a sparse pale background to create one coherent painting.

9. Watermark
Add the exact text ${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood} at the bottom center as a fixed graphic overlay. Use white, elegant calligraphic italic lettering, medium signature size approximately twice a small treatment, with a safe bottom margin. Preserve every character and the underscore. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or other text.

Negative constraints: photorealism, film effects, photo collage, anime face, actress substitution, juvenile transformation, face redesign, grayscale subject, transparent-watercolor-only rendering, washed-out colors, gray bomber, heavy paper overlay, split fringe, conflicting long hair, malformed fingers, fused props, unsupported pots, solid-black fishnet legs, red blossoms, detailed architecture, crowds, walking, profile, three-quarter body turn, oversized figure, tight framing, cropped boots, top-quarter decoration, inadequate headroom, bokeh, bloom, HDR, CGI gloss.
