Art Style Type
This SREF style blends elements of sketching and ink wash painting, while carrying a vintage illustration vibe. It employs a monochromatic approach (with brownish-yellow tones) that evokes classic comics and traditional illustration collections. The style presents hand-drawn quality lines and textures, giving the images both the refinement of classic illustration and the emotional expression of an artist's personal touch.
Style Characteristics
The most notable characteristic of this style is the use of a single color palette (warm brown/sepia tones) creating a vintage, nostalgic atmosphere, as if drawn on aged parchment or yellowed paper. The lines are delicate with a natural fluidity of hand-drawing, featuring strong light-dark contrasts with smooth transitions, giving a warm and nostalgic feeling. The overall presentation includes a slightly grainy texture, adding a sense of age and artistic quality that makes the images both narrative and artistic.
