Create ONE VERTICAL 3:4 continuous COLOR GOUACHE ILLUSTRATION on white Korean hanji, with selective expressive ink lines. Use matte color planes, economical dry-brush strokes, and subtle paper fibers. Show full-color figures and props against a white background. No photography, film simulation, or anime.

1. Two reference identities
Use PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. REFERENCE 1 defines the adult WOMAN on the viewer's LEFT; REFERENCE 2 defines the adult MAN on the viewer's RIGHT. Each reference is that person's sole facial identity source. Preserve recognizable proportions, underlying skin tone, adult age, asymmetry, and identity cues. Do not redesign faces or substitute actors. Never swap or blend identities. Preserve reference-visible proportions or use plausible adult anatomy. Paint faces in the same medium as the bodies; do not copy source clothes, lighting, or background.

2. Separate hair instructions
WOMAN ONLY — use TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Replace her reference hair with a straight DARK-BROWN JAW-LENGTH BOB. Dense blunt horizontal bangs end above the brows, with no central split. A subtle center part exists only behind the fringe. Keep low crown volume, smooth close sides, an untied structure, inward-turning jaw-length ends, and a short neat nape. All ends stay above the shoulders, with no chest or back strands. Use a near-black mass with brown planes. Remove conflicting source hair.

MAN ONLY — use REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Keep his reference color, length, texture, parting, fringe, and structure. The beanie conceals and compresses the crown, with only contact displacement. Visible temple and nape hair follow the reference. He alone wears a short BLACK rib-knit beanie with a narrow folded cuff, compact crown, edge above the brows, and both ears exposed. Add small ROUND gunmetal sunglasses with lightly smoky gray lenses; his eyes and gaze remain faintly readable. The bridge rests on his nose, temples pass over his ears, and there are small upper-left reflections. No opaque mirrored lenses, dangling cap, or logos.

3. Composition
Show exactly TWO adults, WOMAN LEFT and MAN RIGHT, frontal and full length on one ground plane. Leave central space for her orchid at waist height and his bag below, separately readable.

Scale the figures and THREE props as ONE GROUP. Keep the TOP 25% blank white hanji. The highest head or beanie starts 25% down; the lowest sole ends at 85%. Group height is 60%, bottom margin is 15%, and outer side margins are about 10%. Use natural relative stature. Keep complete heads, four hands, props, and soles inside the frame; nothing enters the top quarter.

Use distant 70 mm-like painted perspective, a waist-height viewpoint, and a level frame. Keep faces and hands readable; use diluted ink softness, not bokeh. No title or credits.

4. Pose and hand contacts
MAN: lowered shoulders, feet hip-width apart, weight more on the anatomical left leg. Incline his upper body slightly toward the woman, on the viewer's LEFT, while his chest and face remain frontal. His right foot is slightly forward, knee relaxed, soles planted.

His anatomical RIGHT hand carries the bag in the CENTRAL GAP beside his inner right thigh: elbow nearly straight, wrist aligned with the load, four fingers beneath the handle arch, opposing thumb. Two handle mounts support the bag, clear of robe, shin, and ground.

His anatomical LEFT arm hangs on the FAR RIGHT outer side, fingers relaxed beside his thigh; no shoulder touch.

WOMAN: upright, shoulders relaxed, feet hip-width apart, weight more on the left leg, right foot slightly forward, knee relaxed, soles planted.

Her anatomical LEFT hand holds the orchid pot on the INNER side in the CENTRAL GAP beside her lower waist: bent elbow, palm and curved fingers under the base, thumb on the side.

Her anatomical RIGHT hand carries the bundle at FAR LEFT beside her outer right thigh: nearly straight elbow, four fingers around the cloth loop below the knot, opposing thumb, wrist aligned with the weight. Keep the central pot and his lower bag apart; neither touches the other person's hand, robe, or leg. Faces and the red collar stay clear.

5. Expression and painted makeup
Both gaze at the viewer: the man is vigilant, the woman defiant, and both are quietly fatigued. Eyes are open with lowered lids; brows relaxed; lips lightly closed with neutral corners; cheeks and jaws released. No smile.

Woman: matte makeup, natural brows, faint taupe lash shading, separated lashes, rose-beige cheeks, natural rose lips.

Man: no-makeup grooming, matte-to-soft-satin finish, natural tonal variation in brows and lips, faint beige-taupe shading; retain reference-visible facial hair.

Paint each reference skin tone with restrained warm/cool planes. Do not reshape faces; keep detail appropriate to figure scale.

6. Woman's clothing
IVORY cotton jeogori: overlapping front, curved Korean collar, narrow goreum ties, relaxed fit. The narrow collar band is VIVID VERMILION. CHARCOAL cotton mini chima, gathered pleats, secure waist, opaque hem above the knees, no slit.

Open PALE OLIVE-KHAKI MA-1 bomber: waist-length rounded volume, rib-knit neck, cuffs and hem, zipper, utility pockets. Use opaque khaki, olive shadows, and broad broken strokes. Red collar and ties remain visible. The left elbow folds compress; the right sleeve pulls with the load. No orange lining, logos, or patches.

BLACK fishnet tights run from skirt into boots: fine intersecting ink over skin-colored planes, visible diamonds following the legs, never solid-black legs.

BLACK lower-calf lace-up leather combat boots, thick soles, intact laces, worn edges, gray-brown seam accents.

7. Man's clothing
INK-DARK CHARCOAL Korean DURUMAGI ending MID-CALF, medium-weight matte cotton, broken weave strokes. Include a Korean collar, narrow pale-ivory dongjeong, overlapping panels, modest side gussets, and wide straight sleeves. Narrow goreum ties hang loose. The front is open from chest down, showing knit and trousers. Use long gravity folds, right-sleeve load tension, and a hem above the ground. No Western lapels.

FADED OLIVE-GREEN HENLEY cotton knit: round neck, short placket, three dark buttons, relaxed fit. Opaque green darker than the woman's khaki.

CHARCOAL straight-leg twill trousers, modest hip and knee ease, cool-gray folds that separate them from the robe; legs enter boots.

BLACK lower-calf lace-up leather combat boots, thick soles, intact laces, worn toes, gray-brown accents. Garments are unbranded.

8. Three props
CENTER, beside the man's inner thigh: his ONE compact rectangular BLACK leather travel bag, upper thigh to knee, above ground. Short arched handle, closed top, dark fittings, seams, worn corners, gray-brown edge accents.

A small VERMILION cloth square is knotted at the outer handle mount, below and clear of the grip. Two short folded tails fall naturally. It is a red-orange accent matching the woman's collar, not whole-bag wrapping.

CENTER, beside the woman's inner waist: her ONE tapered, unglazed GRAY-BROWN pot with Hyeran orchid. Long, narrow GREEN strap leaves rise from one base, with varied curves, olive/deep-green strokes, fine ink contours, and gaps. Leaves stay below shoulders and clear of face and collar. Her left hand supports the base. No flowers.

FAR LEFT: the woman's ONE PALE STONE-GRAY cotton bojagi encloses a DARK-BROWN ceramic herbal-medicine pot. Include a weighted rounded bottom, folds from grip to vessel, and a small opening revealing the lid edge and short spout. Cloth supports the vessel from beneath. Keep objects scaled with the group.

9. Background and shared light
Set the scene on a quiet Joseon lane on a dry, calm, overcast late-autumn morning. The two companions pause together. Leave most WHITE hanji unpainted. At ONE far side, sparse PALE-GRAY ink suggests a short wall and low-eave fragment, with incomplete contours and controlled diffusion. Architecture stays below the blank top quarter and clear of heads and props. No village detail, crowds, signs, trees, sun, moon, or seasonal decoration.

Add pale-gray ground marks beneath four boots. Broad overcast-sky light is strongest from the viewer's upper LEFT: lighter upper-left planes on both faces, hands, clothes, and objects; soft darker planes opposite. Add contact shadows beneath the cap, collars, and supporting hands. Keep cotton and knit matte, with restrained leather, lens, and metal accents. No face spotlight or rim glow.

Use compact contact washes to anchor four soles on one ground, with faint short shadows toward the lower RIGHT. Maintain coherent gravity, anatomy, cloth tension, perspective, and contact. Paper white remains unpainted.

10. Essential direction and watermark
Maintain two distinct reference-defined adult identities. Woman LEFT, man RIGHT; bundle FAR LEFT, orchid at inner waist, bag by the man's inner thigh, empty hand FAR RIGHT. The red collar and red knot connect the pair. Keep the top quarter blank, group 60% tall, and the result one coherent gouache painting.

Add the exact watermark ${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood} at bottom center, in white refined calligraphic italic lettering with thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, and a rightward slant. Use medium size, twice a small treatment, with a safe bottom margin. Preserve all characters and the underscore. No outline, shadow, glow, or box.

Negative constraints: swapped or blended identities, actor substitution, juvenile transformation, face redesign, duplicate people, collage, photorealism, anime face, grayscale figures, heavy texture overlay, opaque lenses, wrong-person styling, split fringe, conflicting long bob hair, malformed hands, fused or unsupported props, solid-black fishnet legs, oversized objects, Western lapels, detailed background, walking, tight framing, cropped boots, inadequate headroom, top-quarter decoration, extra text, bokeh, bloom, HDR, CGI gloss.
