A Long-Spouted Morning
A two-panel marker illustration shows tea pouring into an oversized squat cup, then resting beside its long-spouted teapot on a lakeside table.
Small 640×400, Medium 1200×750
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, landscape 8:5. Two unequal narrative panels separated by one loose vertical ink line, showing the same lakeside morning tea setting moments apart. Low aerial oblique viewpoint. Smaller left panel: a tilted terracotta teapot with an absurdly elongated curved spout pours a simple amber stream into a comically wide, squat cream cup. Larger right panel: the same filled cup rests beside the upright teapot, with two wavering steam strokes. Objects sit on a pale sage tabletop; a narrow sand shoreline and broad pale blue lake appear beyond it. Make the cup the visual hero in both panels. Soft peach morning light, muted coral, cream and blue palette. Broad translucent marker fills, uneven bold contours, slight paper texture, very simple silhouettes and minimal shadows. Generous open water in the upper area. No people, arrows, instructional symbols, intricate hatching or extra props. No text, logos or watermarks.
