C7: drawing method and real style references
Factual basis and choice of subjects
Nine recognizable open episodes, half devoted to tea.
Title and drawing language
The assignment provides only one word — CHONGQING, in large Latin serif letters. Small toponyms, Chinese text, numbers, and third-party logos are excluded. This is a description of the assignment; actual readability 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

Read the full prompt
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: CHONGQING. EXACT PALETTE: #41343E, #DB633C, #3B928A. 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 nine unequal episodes: a large gaiwan host and guest at a low river table; a Yongchuan picker with two curved tea rows; a Nanchuan branching tea tree and small basket; a Xiushan maker beside an open tea-firing pan; a Banan needle-tea tray paired with a slender infusion glass; stepped Chongqing riverside houses and a modern bridge; the Wulong natural stone arch; a small Dazu carved-rock niche; a Kuimen cliff pair and little boat. Simplify scenes into medium hand contours and selective warm/cool fills, with clear interiors and a few human gestures. No little labels or decorative fake writing. REGIONAL TRUTH: Yongchuan Xiuya is a needle-shaped green tea. Banan Yinzhen, Xiushan Maojian and Fuling Baicha are documented regional tea names; do not infer white-tea processing merely from the name Baicha. Nanchuan has Dashucha trees and Jinfo Mountain tea traditions. Xiushan Maojian is made in the Wuling Mountains, including hand pan-firing. Show Chongqing as both a producing region and a city of gaiwan hospitality. Tea terraces belong to these rural districts, not to downtown towers. The Yangtze and Jialing confluence and local stepped riverside architecture identify the municipality. Do not depict Xiling Gorge or Badong as Chongqing sites. SPECIFIC COMPOSITION: The large upper serif CHONGQING balances the tall tree and bridge. Table and arch sit lower and are different sizes. Let a roof touch a nearby stair and a tea row approach the tree, while irregular transparent glaze separates the other episodes. Do not build a continuous mountain panorama or place nine evenly spaced emblems. Keep the complete word inside the safe field. TEXT: Only one word, "CHONGQING". 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.
