## Factual basis and choice of subjects

Ten large open episodes, without invented local tea varieties.

## Title and drawing language

The assignment provides only one word — HEBEI, in large Latin serif letters. Small place names, Chinese text, numbers and third-party logos are excluded. This is a description of the assignment; actual legibility is assessed separately.

## Drawing method and style references

Photographs of real tourist mugs with city scenes of Guangzhou, Macau, Hong Kong and Zhuhai were studied. From them, observed drawing features were taken: medium lively hand outline, simple recognizable silhouettes, selective flat color accents and a large title in the upper band. The specific set of viewed angles varied by region.

Local scenes vary in scale, shape, and height. Their juxtaposition creates an overall rhythm; a continuous panorama, a shared horizon, a grid of identical modules, and a fixed percentage of empty space are not imposed. Transparency is preserved between and within outlines.

The ceramic surface, highlights, hands, and the object background of the photographs are not part of the new drawing. Reference images and personal source photos are not published here. The three colors of each region are the author's palette, not a measured paint standard of the photographed cup.

## Review basis

One HEBEI, simple central outline, large picker, scales, packaging, and tea table. Open gaps and water without a pictorial background; the trade subject is not turned into plantations of the whole province.

Create an exceptional original flat illustration for a collectible tea-region ceramic wrap. The attached image is a STYLE reference, not a content reference: preserve its drawing intelligence, print character and relationship between title, scenes and empty glaze; replace every Guangdong-specific subject and word. Output one panoramic native 3840 x 1280 pixel PNG with a genuine RGBA alpha channel. All artwork, including lettering, must remain wholly inside x60..3780 and y110..1170. The upper and lower outside bands and the external negative space must be transparent, not white paint. The final production crop will be 3840 x 1152 pixels for a 250 x 75 mm wrap; do not draw dimensions, crop marks or a frame. No mug, mockup, photograph, simulated paper, decorative rectangular background, cast shadow, checkerboard or watermark.

COLLECTION C7 — REFERENCE CUP CONTOUR.
Follow the actual souvenir-cup drawing language closely: medium-weight lively hand contour, simple recognisable silhouettes, soft three-ink palette, sparse flat accents and a few short expressive strokes. No fine engraving, crosshatching carpet, watercolour, gradients, tonal rendering or solid panorama. Arrange 8 to 10 unequal local episodes in a lively interlocking rhythm; a few form close pairs and others breathe through generous irregular clear glaze. This is NOT an evenly spaced icon grid or two perfectly aligned rows. One large elegant serif title in the upper band. Its simple confident charm must be apparent at mug scale.

REGION: HEBEI. EXACT PALETTE: #52463B, #478399, #AC783A. Use only these opaque graphic inks and their clean antialiased edges; no white ink, black substitution or extra colours. Transparent negative space is not an additional ink.

Draw ten unequal medium-contour episodes: a Lingshou grower and two tea rows; a merchant scale and supplied tea parcels; a Zhangjiakou gateway with one small pack camel; two people sharing tea in a Chengde garden; a tea seller folding a plain packet; a large fresh tea branch and basket; Jinshanling tower and short wall; Anji Bridge with broad arch and little shoulder openings; Cangzhou iron lion; Old Dragon Head wall meeting two coastal rocks. Tea cultivation is restricted to Lingshou. Use sparse three-ink accents and open interiors, with no inscriptions.

REGIONAL TRUTH: Hebei's map contains a real but limited northern tea-growing story at Lingshou, confirmed by Shijiazhuang municipal reporting; do not turn the entire province into tea plantations. Zhangjiakou, including the Dajingmen gateway context, belongs to the Great Tea Road trade story, moving tea supplied from other regions. Historic Tianjin tea merchants also opened branches in Baoding and Cangzhou, supporting merchant-counter scenes there. Chengde's palace-and-garden landscape is documented; a contemporary visitor sharing tea there is an artistic hospitality scene, not a claimed historical ceremony. The Great Wall, Taihang, Yanshan and Bohai coast identify the wider region. Yanmen Pass is in Shanxi and must not appear as Hebei.

SPECIFIC COMPOSITION: Only upper serif HEBEI is written. The gate and tea branch are tall; scale, table and bridge are broad; camel and coastal rocks smaller. Give nearby groups a few shared contours and leave irregular clear glaze elsewhere. Avoid uniform sticker spacing, a filled mountain panorama or finely hatched texture.

TEXT: Only one word, "HEBEI". No other letters, numbers, captions or language anywhere.

Keep the entire title and every object inside the safe field. Use only the specified three inks with clean alpha-zero glaze around and within open forms. No white backing, opaque sky, wash, shadows, writing, border or cut-off object. Finish as a confident simple collector-cup illustration, not a presentation sheet.
