风暴小精灵泡茶，雨落回杯里

Technique first: thick dark ink contour lines of visibly varying weight, thinner linework inside for seams and patches, flat matte gouache fills in a restrained dusty-rose, cream, sage and charcoal palette, and a fine granular paper grain showing through every flat area. Subject: on plain warm paper, one small storm spirit drawn full-body as a character study, standing at the centre, tall and slightly stooped in a patched rain cloak, both hands wrapped around an oversized teacup as it quietly brews tea. It has a calm, quietly pleased face, and a faint oval shadow anchors it to the paper. Steam provides the only action: it curls up from the cup into a single small grey cloud right above the spirit's head, then a thin rain drops from that cloud neatly back into the very same cup, closing the loop. The whole figure sits inside the frame with generous blank paper margins, nothing touching the borders, and the paper tone uniform out to each edge. Nowhere is there any text.
