## What is it good for?

Avatars, album covers and character teasers where the outline matters more than the face.

## How do I fill it in?

- **Character**: who it is and one pose, such as “a dancer mid-turn”.
- **Rim light**: two colours, one for each side. A single colour reads as a glow rather than a person.
- **Mood**: optional; one or two words are enough.
