"A pencil drawing for the cover of Gogol’s Diary of a Madman, depicting a character in deep psychological turmoil. The character should have a disheveled appearance, with messy hair and a tense, almost manic expression, conveying his descent into madness. His eyes should reflect confusion and paranoia. The style should evoke the 19th-century Russian setting, with subtle hints of period clothing, but not overly detailed. The focus should be on capturing the emotional intensity and inner conflict, with dark, expressive shading to create an unsettling atmosphere. The background should be minimal, enhancing the character’s isolation and inner chaos. No text in the image." --ar 3:4
