Puppy's Farm Adventure

Same Frank character as approved reference sheet. Young dachshund puppy: short neck, slightly longer body, droopy ears, amber eyes, soft whiskers, warm hopeful expression, puppy proportions. 8.5x8.5 children's picture book layout. Large empty cream text area occupying at least 55% of the LEFT side. Completely blank - no text, no objects, no illustration elements entering it. All illustration confined to RIGHT side only. Frank trots excitedly down a farm lane, slightly ahead of his family, tail up, curious and anticipatory. Behind him, a little girl skips happily (one foot off ground); further back, a young boy holds a parent's hand. Parents are loose background figures, not the focus. Small wooden Oink Farm sign beside the lane. Distant farmhouse and barn. Two tiny collies subtly hidden near the barn doorway, barely noticeable. Loose watercolour and gouache, visible brushstrokes, natural imperfections, slightly quirky character design, expressive faces and body language. Warm, playful, painterly, organic. Not photorealistic, not Disney, not polished digital, not glossy. Inspired by approved duck and horse illustrations. --hd --profile y5mbuqm
