Prompt
A children's book illustration of a small child and a large gentle brown bear sharing one yellow umbrella in the rain, the bear holding the handle and tilting the umbrella toward the child so its own shoulder is getting wet, both walking along a puddled woodland path, soft watercolour washes with visible paper texture and gentle bleed at the edges of each wash, rain drawn as light diagonal strokes, muted greens and greys throughout with the yellow umbrella as the only strong colour, warm and safe mood, no text

How to use this prompt
A spread needs an action, not a pose. "Tilting the umbrella toward the child so its own shoulder is getting wet" is a single readable act of care, and it is the entire difference between a page from a story and two characters standing in the rain. Make the umbrella the only saturated colour in an otherwise grey-green scene; in a wet, low-contrast palette the eye needs one place to land, and yellow against wet greens does that instantly. Watercolour also has to be asked for physically: without visible paper texture and edge bleed you get flat digital colour.
Variations to try
- Sunny sequel spread: umbrella closed and shaken out, both jumping in a puddle, palette warmed
- Swap the bear for a tall heron with the umbrella hooked over its wing, same tilt and gesture
