A cosy grainy gouache illustration of one cute fox sitting at a desk with a laptop, wearing big headphones, coding while listening to music, with a small thought bubble of floating musical notes and tiny code brackets above its head. Flat outline-free shapes with soft 3-4 stop gradient shading, darker toward edges and base, and a fine dark multiply grain gathering at shape edges. Saturated hot-pink card background, a chalky purple-pink shadow pooled under the group, big glossy eyes with cream star highlights, framed by grained autumn leaves and sparse cream sparkles. No text. Reference (SKILL.md): --- name: illustration-grainy-gouache description: Draws original cosy animal scenes as hand-authored SVG cards (480x360) in a grainy gouache, risograph-like style. Identifying traits are flat shapes with no outlines on a hot-pink card; soft 3-4 stop gradient shading on every rounded form, darker toward edges and base; a fine dark multiply grain that gathers at each shape's edges; a chalky purple-pink shadow pooled under the group; and big glossy eyes with cream star highlights, framed by grained autumn leaves and sparse cream sparkles. It covers design and coding moments with one cute animal at a laptop, monitor, desk, window, mug or book stack. Use when someone asks for grainy, gouache, riso, risograph, textured, cosy, cozy, autumn, hygge, storybook or children's-book style animal art, or for an empty state, onboarding step, 404 page, blog header, feature spot or marketing card with a warm handmade feel. --- # Illustration: Grainy gouache A warm editorial style: one cute animal doing a design or coding thing, painted in flat, outline-free shapes that are softly shaded and dusted with fine dark grain, on a saturated hot-pink card with cream sparkles and falling autumn leaves. Use it where a product wants warmth and charm: empty states, onboarding, seasonal blog headers, "we're working on it" pages. Boundary: for clean flat vector with no texture and no animals, use `illustration-flat`. For a hand-inked critter with hatching and googly eyes on white, use `illustration-ink-sketch`. For people with inked outlines, use `illustration-outlined-cartoon`. This style has no human cards; if a brief needs a person, use one of those instead. Extracted from a set of 42 original design-and-coding cards in 14 styles; the three cards in examples/ are this style's shipped cards. ## The look in one sentence Outline-free shapes, each filled with a soft light-to-dark gradient and then speckled with a fine dark grain that thickens toward the shape's edges and into its shadows, sitting on hot pink #FF81BE with a chalky purple pool beneath. Remove the edge-gathered grain and it becomes plain flat vector; change the pink and it stops belonging to the set. ## Palette Measured from the examples. Every large form uses a ramp, never one flat colour. `style.json` lists every legitimate value. | Role | Hex | Where it goes | |---|---|---| | Card background | `#FF81BE` | full-bleed rect, every card, including night and rain scenes | | Cream | `#FDD5A8` | sparkles, bursts, dots, steam, code text, rain, pompom, fur ticks | | Cream light | `#FFF3E2` | tiny glints on drops and pompoms only | | Pool shadow / core | `#B95A93` / `#A04A80` | chalky floor pool; core at opacity 0.8 under the heaviest object | | Blush | `#FF7FB0` | cheek ellipses at opacity 0.6 | | Vermilion | `#FF4816` | flat accents: editor dot, bookmark, commit node | | Vermilion ramp | `#FF5A24` `#F2440F` `#F0420E` `#B02B08` `#9C2306` | mugs, plant pots, fox fur (radial `#FF5A26`→`#FB4714`→`#D9380C`→`#9C2406`) | | Coral | `#FF6A3A` | code accent, mug rim, sticky note | | Knit | `#EE430F`+`#C2320A Variation: Quiet storybook close-up: crop in on the fox's upper body and the laptop, with sleepy half-happy glossy eyes, mint-green headphones, and a soft cream scarf. Sparse, large leaves frame only the top and right edges, leaving generous pink space, with subtle sparkles and a compact shadow pool.
