A Little, A Lot
An overhead marker illustration of two oversized cream bowls containing three and nine oranges on blue courtyard paving.
Small 480×640, Medium 900×1200
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, portrait 3:4. Direct overhead view of a quiet blue-paved courtyard containing two enormous shallow cream ceramic bowls with exaggeratedly broad, slightly irregular rims. Equal-sized bowls, placed diagonally: upper left holds three oranges; lower right holds nine. All oranges are the same size, separate and easily distinguishable, drawn as bold orange circles with one tiny dark stem mark each. This physical still life expresses a comparison of quantity, not a chart or diagram. Keep both bowls fully visible with generous breathing room, especially at upper right. Cool blue ground, warm cream pottery, vivid orange fruit, dark indigo contours. A few broad paving seams establish the imaginative environment. Crisp short offset shadows and simple white highlight strokes. Loose confident marker outlines, flat colour fills, slight stroke overlap, no intricate texture or hatching. No people, text, numbers, axes, logos or watermarks.
