The over-the-workbench view carries the vertical composition by layering tools in front, hands in the middle, and workshop drawers behind. Low lamp light pooling on metal defines the glow, and the sepia ink, muted gouache, and worn wood details guide the model toward a crafted illustration style. ## Recreate It in Private Diffusion 1.
