Finished editorial illustration, square 1:1. One fresh lemon occupies the lower-left portion of a pale peach field. Its body is comically broad and squat, with a gently flattened underside; its right-hand tip stretches upward into a long, elegant curl. Keep the silhouette unmistakably lemon-like, not a banana. A tiny dark-green stem marks the opposite end. Bright yellow flat fill, loose dark-cobalt marker contours with occasional gaps, one broad cream highlight, and a compact cobalt shadow touching the base. Expressive hand-drawn marker character combined with simple screen-print ink layers and slight edge misregistration. No gradients, intricate hatching or detailed rind texture. The fruit feels firmly planted despite its fanciful proportions. Generous empty space across the upper half and right edge; strong thumbnail readability. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
