Build digital tone from separated contour-following bands that thicken in shadow and narrow in light. Width modulation and open gaps visible; landmarks ride band width alone. Resemblance sits in big shapes: silhouette, pose, tonal masses; below fingertip scale everything is bands. Translate colors to faithful relative values. Eyes and nose are line bands with one line highlight. Tone lives in band width and open gaps, each contour drawn once, strands read as band runs and eye shine stays line-made. A tall scene of a middle-aged grocer in an apron carefully weighing a pile of fresh vegetables on a brass scale at a market stall, pride in his attentive face, crates of produce and a striped awning behind, clean separated contour-following bands thicken and thin to build tone. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere; the picture fills the whole frame edge to edge, painted right to the borders with no blank margin, no checkerboard or transparency pattern.
Palette: black bands on warm cream with sparing green; careful, calm.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame.
