Character illustration 3D

Soft and poetic children's picture book illustration, using watercolor and gouache textures. Bright soft natural light with slightly bright highlights. Soft pastel tones, complemented by soft blues and warm tones. Visible brushstrokes and paper texture. Minimalist composition with plenty of negative space. Atmosphere is tranquil, profound, with a hint of openness. Child characters (about 12 years old). Subtle visual metaphors such as light and shadow, perspective, and reflections. Hand-drawn picture book style, not cartoon, not anime, not 3D. Two children talking calmly, building a soft connection.
