Capturing the quaint charm of everyday life, an artwork features a slightly overweight man with black hair and a mustache, dressed confidently in green cargo pants paired with an unbuttoned white plaid shirt. His full-body stance, marked by short legs, a thick chest, and a round face with big eyes and a thin neck, encapsulates a mix of styles reminiscent of Peter de Seve and John Klassen’s digital illustrations. He stands on a city sidewalk, the background portraying the simple, subdued tones of a gray wall made lively by the rough and ready brush strokes of oil paint. The tableau, painted in a broad palette with flat grays and simple shapes, fuses techniques from cartoon styles with the depth of gouache on canvas. This merging of techniques not only heightens the visual appeal of the piece but also reflects the benefits of using style references in AI art, which broadens the scope for creativity and enhances the artist’s ability to capture various moods and atmospheres effectively.
