Bounce Light
Reflect light from a wall or reflector before it reaches the subject to change its direction, spread and color.
Prompt
Use Bounce Light: directional daylight first illuminates the existing pale floor and left wall, and their broad reflected light softly lifts the downward-facing underside of the original belly, chin and arms. Make the soft returned light slightly warm from the existing beige surfaces while the direct window side remains neutral. Keep the bounce physically consistent with the visible receiving surfaces; no new reflector, lamp or props. Preserve round body volume and patchwork colors.

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, the underside of Ruk's belly and arms are darker. The bounce-light version adds a soft, warm reflection to the shadowed surfaces near the reddish floor, while the left window remains the main lighting direction. Color from the surroundings reaches the figure's lower surfaces, connecting Ruk more naturally to the studio lighting while preserving the tonal turn of the round belly.
