Finished editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. An intimate reading corner viewed slightly from above: one enormous rust-coloured crescent floor cushion cradles a lanky school-age child with narrow shoulders, long folded legs, a minimal face and a small satisfied smile. A large open cream book rests on their lap, simple hands supporting its edges. Beside them stands a comically low, wide teal bookshelf containing four chunky books with blank spines. Cluster the nook toward the lower left; leave generous warm-paper background above and at upper right. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours, deliberately exaggerated asymmetric silhouettes, simple colour blocks. Honour mezzotint-inspired tone through broad velvety charcoal shadows with soft rubbed edges and sparse grain, not intricate hatching. Gentle side light, one quiet floor shadow, no additional props. Clear at thumbnail size. No readable text, logos or watermarks.
