A watercolor illustration of a ladybug, green caterpillar named Lina, and a snail on a leaf in a sunny garden with flowers.

1. Little Caterpillar Lina (Before Transformation) Three friends: Lina, a small colorful butterfly with big expressive eyes and softly iridescent watercolor wings (she used to be a green caterpillar), a cheerful red ladybug with black dots and shiny soft wings, and a tiny beige snail with a spiral brown shell and gentle curious eyes. All illustrated in a soft semi-realistic watercolor storybook style, warm natural colors, expressive and emotional faces, gentle light, not plastic or 3D-rendered, inspired by Studio Ghibli and classic European children’s books. For this scene, Lina is still a little green caterpillar — the same character before her transformation, with the same big expressive eyes, fuzzy soft texture, and a curious warm smile. The ladybug and snail sit beside her on a leaf in a sunlit garden surrounded by flowers and tall grass. The atmosphere is soft, peaceful, and full of wonder, showing the beginning of her journey. --ar 16:9 --style soft --lighting natural --detail high --realistic --storybook See more
