Sad Child by Rainy Window

A moody storybook-style digital painting of a small sad child sitting curled up on a wooden stool beside a large rain-streaked window, indoors in a dim gray room. The child has [hair color] wild tangled messy hair, huge expressive eyes, pale skin with a few freckles, and a worried, lonely expression, hugging their knees tightly to their chest. They wear oversized [pajama pattern] and soft worn slippers. Outside the window is a bleak rainy city street with 4 leaning old buildings visible, 4 wind-bent trees, a slick winding road, and dramatic swirling storm clouds, all painted in an exaggerated crooked perspective. The composition places the child on the left and the window view dominating the right, creating a feeling of isolation and melancholy. Use a painterly, hand-brushed, textured illustration style with visible rough brushstrokes, desaturated blue-gray tones, soft charcoal shadows, subtle highlights on the wet glass, and only faint warm accents in the child’s clothing. Evoke emotional children’s book art in the vein of dark whimsical gothic illustration, intimate, cinematic, rainy-day sadness, high detail, square composition.
