Art style: Studio Ghibli. A patch of dark, freshly turned garden soil. Extreme close-up from a low angle. Bright sunlight hits the metallic edge of a small trowel, creating a sharp glint. The atmosphere is grounded, tactile, and focused. A small, youthful hand firmly grips the wooden handle of the trowel, pushing it into the rich, dark earth to carve out a perfectly straight, shallow trench. The color palette is dominated by deep, dark loamy browns and the shiny silver of the metal trowel. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Lily: A lively young girl around seven years old with bright, wide, expressive hazel eyes and a sprinkle of freckles across her nose. She has messy, shoulder-length chestnut brown hair tied into loose twin pigtails. She wears a bright mustard-yellow overall dress over a crisp white short-sleeved blouse, paired with slightly scuffed brown leather boots. Her expression is brimming with curiosity and innocent joy. The lighting is bright and cheerful, highlighting the vibrant colors of her outfit against a backdrop of a sun-drenched, lush grassy yard.
