## Factual basis and choice of subjects

Nine large episodes in simple outline; ginseng is visible as a separate plant.

## Title and drawing language

The assignment provides only one word — JILIN, in large Latin serif letters. Small toponyms, 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

JILIN whole and the only inscription; open medium outlines, separate large tea scene, ginseng, crater, bridge and animals. No backing/blurred haze visible; tea and root are not reduced to a false plantation.

Create an original flat souvenir-cup decal, not a mug mockup or a photographed product. Follow the approved real-cup outline style with simple shapes and restrained accents. Do not reproduce the source map's parchment, dense relief shading or filled scenery. Native canvas 3840 x 1280 pixels, actual RGBA PNG, with every mark safely inside x60..3780/y110..1170; final centered export is 3840 x 1152 for 250 x 75 mm. Keep all canvas margins alpha zero. No visible frame or printed technical information.

Use confident, slightly human 5–7 px outlines, readable at 75 mm print height. Most object bodies are open alpha-zero interiors: the ceramic itself becomes the unprinted colour. Only small, sharply bounded flat accent patches; no white or cream backing, no sky/ground slab, no brown wash, watercolor, airbrush, photographic texture, dense engraving or crosshatching. Use 3–5 short interior marks for an ordinary vessel or object, a few essential openings for a building. Tea steam is at most one or two open curls. No global ground line connecting every scene.

Arrange 8–10 substantial, unequal episodes in a lively irregular field. Put the largest episode off-center, let a tall narrow object answer it, and fit a few smaller ones into purposeful gaps. Different heights and natural overlaps are welcome, but every episode needs a legible silhouette and a clean breathing channel. No fixed whitespace percentage, no equal two-row sticker grid, no miniatures scattered under an enormous empty heading. Preserve real regional identity through observed objects and explicit tea actions. Never invent tea farms or label herbs as tea leaves. Architecture is a geographic motif; contemporary tea pauses are authored scenes, not historical evidence.


C7: REAL SOUVENIR-CUP PEN DRAWING. Match the approved Xinjiang and Shanghai cup illustrations through warm, assured medium outlines and selective small flat accents. At native size use approximately 5–7 px main strokes and only 3–5 interior strokes per simple object. Larger buildings may have a few more essential windows, never dense hatching. Most enclosed bodies remain transparent. Draw 8–10 unequal, generous subject groups at different heights, with irregular open channels between them. This is neither an evenly spaced icon grid nor a tightly packed panoramic painting. No watercolor, sepia haze, opaque cream objects, stippled shading or engraving.

REGION: Jilin. Palette: #254D43, #A44366, #849E6F. First colour is the main outline; remaining two are small flat accents. No additional inks.

Draw NINE generous uneven episodes: (1) a modern Jilin tea practitioner pouring a gaiwan into two small cups at a simple old-street window, the main human scene; (2) a close tea-tin shelf with scoop and dry-leaf tray, slightly smaller but strongly legible; (3) Tianchi as an open crater ellipse inside three spare Changbai peaks, no filled blue lake; (4) a traveller and tea thermos beneath one pine beside a compact timber shelter; (5) a ginseng root, a root-slice plate and a separate herbal glass next to a very small shade frame, unmistakably a different plant from tea; (6) a low Yanji courtyard roof group with one flowering branch; (7) a Songhua stone bridge with three open water strokes; (8) one elegant deer beside two pines; (9) two flying cranes above a plain farmhouse and one distant horse. Keep the gaiwan scene and crater unequal but prominent. Arrange medium scenes in natural gaps, not matching stamp slots. Main pine-green outlines, small berry-coloured blossoms and cup details, muted green accents on a few leaves only. The ginseng bed must have broad ground leaves and root details, never rows of tea shrubs. All visible tea drinking is contemporary authored hospitality, not a fabricated regional antiquity.

PRINTED TEXT: exactly "JILIN" once, near the upper composition, in warm hand-drawn block-serif capitals. This is the only visible text: no place names, subheadings, numbers, Chinese, labels, logos or signatures. Keep the word readable and scaled to the drawing, not an oversized empty banner. Preserve the anatomy and silhouette of local animals and vessels; do not repeat or multiply episodes to fill gaps. Deliver the drawing itself on genuine transparency.
