Art style: Paper Cut.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — a cheerful, energetic boy of about eight, the middle child of the family. He has a round, sun-kissed face with warm light-brown skin, big bright hazel eyes, freckles across his nose, a wide gap-toothed grin, and slightly messy tousled chestnut-brown hair. Sturdy, wiry build with a lively bounce in his stance, weight on one foot as if about to dash off, one hand raised in a joyful wave, the other holding a small red rubber ball. He wears a striped yellow-and-blue short-sleeved t-shirt, denim shorts with rolled cuffs, and scuffed white sneakers with untied laces. Setting: a sunny green backyard with a wooden fence, scattered toys and a bright flowerbed behind him. No text.
