"A pencil drawing for the cover of Gogol’s Diary of a Madman, with no text. The character, representing a man on the verge of madness, stands in front of a cityscape from 19th-century Russia. His expression is tense, with messy hair and eyes filled with paranoia and confusion, capturing his psychological breakdown. The city background should reflect the oppressive atmosphere of the time, with dark, shadowed streets, old buildings, and a cold, bleak sky, emphasizing the character’s isolation and mental deterioration. The drawing should use stark contrasts of light and shadow, with intricate details in the character’s face and minimal, moody elements in the cityscape." --ar 3:4
