🎨 Pen & Ink Adventure
Loose black pen-and-ink sketchbook illustrations with lots of white space and minimal detail. Scenes feel quickly captured and slightly unfinished, like a memory drawn in a notebook. Soft watercolor washes are used sparingly for warmth and emphasis. The overall look is calm, clean, timeless, and emotionally gentle rather than polished or cartoony.
