At the top of the Illustration Style image, "Happy Birthday Sarah" in playful hand-lettered brush script with warm, textured strokes

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes on grainy paper, warm expressive color palette. Scene: a cozy city sidewalk at golden hour. Sarah (adult) sits outside on a low step, wearing a black leather jacket, bright red scarf, and black boots. Headphones on, cigarette in hand, she’s totally absorbed in her phone screen showing a simple chessboard. Smoke curls whimsically into musical notes and a faint chess knight shape.

Beside and behind her, a comically long queue of diverse adults winds down the street—party hats, wrapped gifts, a chess-themed cake, balloons (one shaped like a rook). Their faces are amused and exasperated; one checks a watch, another leans on a queue post. Streamers and confetti drift through warm evening light.

A single-line speech bubble from Sarah reads: "Sorry can't talk - I'm just want to listen to music and play chess"

Composition: Sarah foreground left-of-center; the queue snakes into the background right for depth. Golden light, soft shadows, pops of red echo the scarf in ribbons and balloons. Balanced, humorous mood; expressive faces; painterly, non-photorealistic finish; no brand logos.
