Create a beautiful, hand-drawn travel journal illustration titled "${destination}" featuring the iconic landmarks, architecture, and everyday charm of ${destination}.

Art style: A spontaneous travel sketchbook illustration drawn with fine black ink outlines, loose, imperfect pen strokes, and soft watercolor or colored-pencil accents. Make the artwork feel like a real artist’s personal travel diary: playful, imperfect, artistic, and full of character.

Landmark accuracy: Keep the main landmark recognizable and architecturally accurate, preserving its authentic shape, proportions, structure, and distinctive details. Surround it with smaller sketches that capture the personality and atmosphere of the destination.

Artistic details: Add tiny handwritten labels naming the landmarks, short location notes, little arrows, dotted lines, ticket-stub illustrations, miniature transportation, local trees, and charming everyday details.

Final result: Create a charming, editorial-quality illustrated travel journal spread with a large hero landmark and multiple smaller location sketches. Use authentic hand-drawn imperfections, expressive ink lines, delicate watercolor accents, an organic layout, and a timeless travel-sketch aesthetic. Do not use photorealism, 3D rendering, glossy digital effects, or overly polished vector graphics.

Destination: ${destination}
Main landmark: ${main-landmark}
Additional landmarks: ${additional-landmarks}

Use a clean, warm-white sketchbook-paper background with subtle paper texture.

Composition: Create an open sketchbook spread featuring one large, detailed drawing of the most recognizable landmark on the left page, accompanied by several smaller illustrated scenes on the right page. Include additional local attractions, historic buildings, city squares, waterfronts, charming streets, bridges, gardens, or famous monuments associated with the location.

Let the handwriting look natural and slightly imperfect, as if an artist made these notes while exploring the city.

Color palette: Use a restrained combination of sky blue, muted green, warm yellow, soft terracotta, and subtle grey, with black ink defining the drawings. Leave generous areas of untouched white paper.

Mood: Nostalgic, curious, peaceful, creative, and travel-inspired. Evoke the feeling of discovering a beautiful city and collecting memories in a personal sketchbook.

Typography: Add the destination’s name in beautiful, artistic handwritten lettering, along with a small subtitle such as “A JOURNEY THROUGH ${destination}” or “${country} TRAVEL NOTES.” Keep the typography naturally integrated into the sketchbook.
