## Prompt · English

```text
Reinterpret the supplied picture as a playful crayon drawing on off-white classroom paper. Retain only the main subjects, their positions and the most recognizable colors. Use uneven wax strokes, gaps in the coloring, simple flat shapes, oversized faces and slightly wandering outlines. Keep the composition charming and readable, with visible paper grain and no polished digital gradients. Treat it as an intentionally naive illustration rather than a realistic rendering.
```
