Art style: Anime / Manga.
A man with kind, crinkled hazel eyes and a strong, square jawline. In his youth, he has thick, dark wavy hair and a lean, athletic build. As he ages, his hair transitions to a distinguished salt-and-pepper and finally to a soft silver. He wears practical, high-quality clothing like flannel shirts, a tailored charcoal suit, and eventually a comfortable cream-colored knit sweater. His expression conveys quiet focus or deep, gentle warmth. He is seen in various settings including a rustic workshop, a modern office, and a peaceful lakeside porch. The lighting is always natural and evocative.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Anime / Manga" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Anime / Manga". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Anime / Manga" idiom, not in any other medium.
