Finished hand-drawn charcoal editorial illustration, square 1:1. One tiny split acorn near the lower-right quadrant sends a slender, gently crooked stem diagonally toward the upper left, carrying two comically oversized oak leaves. One leaf is broad and squat with a few deep rounded lobes; the other is narrow and elongated, creating an asymmetric silhouette. A short root curls beneath the acorn. Warm ivory paper, near-black charcoal contours, broad rubbed gray fills and a few visible grainy edges. Use loose, confident, marker-like gestures while retaining unmistakable charcoal texture. Simple shapes, minimal interior marks, strong thumbnail legibility. Generous empty space along the right edge. Playful botanical imagery, not a scientific plate or growth diagram; no stages, arrows or inset scenes. No intricate hatching, people, text, logos or watermarks.
