Review basis

A completely new composition fixed the quality: three large clear tea scenes, a crisp two-color engraving line, accurate HUBEI/ENSHI/WUFENG/CHIBI.. Steam, leaves and press are distinguishable, no more muddy haze.

Read the full prompt
Create a refined two-ink engraved souvenir illustration of HUBEI with three different tea-making actions. Follow the reference's crisp craft and connected composition. Build interest through hands, tools and contrasting forms, not microscopic landscape texture.

One 3840 x 1280 PNG with genuine RGBA transparency. Keep all marks within x60..3780 and y110..1170 for a 250 x 75 mm wrap. No mockup, paper, border, backdrop or sky. Open spaces and highlights stay transparent. Use only river blue #194C58 and cranberry #AE3944. No white paint, extra colours or gradients.

Print HUBEI once in large, complete, upright serif capitals in a generous upper-centre opening. Allow only three additional place names, each once, in clear small-but-readable serif capitals: ENSHI, WUFENG, CHIBI. Place each directly beside its own scene. No other text, numbers, seals or pseudo-lettering. Letterforms must be crisp, neither distressed nor shaded.

Compose one gently flowing scene with three unequal tea anchors:

ENSHI occupies the large left foreground. An attentive tea maker lifts the lid of a broad bamboo steamer containing fresh tea leaves. Show a complete face, purposeful hands, strong circular basket rims and recognisable leaves. Three elegant drawn curves indicate steam; they are crisp ink lines on transparency, never mist or a white glow. The raised lid and open basket explain steam fixation visually. A restrained wooden workshop roof and two posts stand behind the figure.

WUFENG rises behind the centre-left as a smaller but prominent harvesting episode. A picker with a back basket reaches into two broad tea bushes, carefully taking a tender shoot. Show separate leaf groups with visible silhouettes and one short curving terrace edge. A single angular mountain ridge and one tree give geographic character; do not carpet the hillside with tiny repeated leaf marks. This scene connects to the foreground through a descending path.

CHIBI occupies the right foreground. A second craftsperson operates a plainly constructed wooden screw press above a rectangular tea mould. Show the lever, screw, mould and both working hands clearly. Beside the press, stack three dark tea bricks of different orientations and set one woven packing basket behind them. Brick faces need only sparse engraved leaf fragments. Qingzhuan is dark brick tea, so do not draw bright green cakes or round puer discs here.

A small landing and river cargo boat make a low connecting curve. Sparse water lines join the workshops on transparency. One tea branch at each end completes the rhythm. Keep the title dominant and preserve air around faces, hands and captions. No panels or repeated scenes.

Use controlled copperplate contours and a few short parallel hatches for bamboo, timber and cloth. Leave gaps between strokes and keep silhouettes firm. Simplify tiny details. No stippling, grain, tangled crosshatching, blur, wash, ghost edges, fog, shadows or low-opacity texture. Keep all objects and words fully inside the safe bounds: a lucid story of steam, harvest and compression.
