A heartwarming, hand-painted anime illustration of four friends

A heartwarming, hand-painted anime illustration of four friends standing together on a peaceful nighttime street, inspired by Studio Ghibli’s signature art style. The scene has a soft, painterly watercolor texture, with warm, golden streetlights casting a gentle glow on their faces. Their eyes are expressive, filled with warmth and nostalgia, while their hair has delicate highlights that move slightly in the evening breeze. The background features lush green trees, a rustic red brick wall, and a distant cozy neighborhood, softly blurred for a dreamy effect. The atmosphere is tranquil, with fireflies subtly glowing and a deep, starry sky adding to the magical, nostalgic ambiance. The lighting is soft and cinematic, with warm colors blending seamlessly into the background, evoking the charm and emotion of classic Ghibli films like Whisper of the Heart and My Neighbor Totoro.
