Image 1 is the character reference: keep this same young man, same face, same copper-red curly hair, same long dark navy coat, white shirt, thin dark tie, dark trousers, brown boots, paper coffee cup and slim tightly furled closed black umbrella with a wooden crook handle. Images 2 and 3 are style references only: copy their painting manner exactly, simple flat gouache shapes, clean graphic silhouettes, very little detail, big calm areas of pale colour, soft washed background fading into white mist. Do not copy any person, place or object from images 2 and 3. Scene: a young courier rides a bicycle slowly with a tall white three-tier wedding cake on a tray over the rear wheel, and the top tier is sliding off. Our tall thin hero strolls alongside sipping coffee, not looking, and straightens the top tier with the tip of his closed umbrella. The courier does not notice. Dry pale pavement on a calm overcast day, simple pale city buildings fading into mist, no landmarks, no crowd, no puddles, no autumn leaves. Full figures visible, boots on the ground. No text, no logos, no watermark.
