A Place Beside You
Two differently proportioned adult friends sit close on a wide sofa, sharing a patterned blanket with a guitar across one lap.
Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, square 1:1, textile-inspired woven image look. In the lower two-thirds, two adult friends sit nestled together on an exaggeratedly wide, low rust-orange sofa. A broad, squat musician has a simplified honey-yellow acoustic guitar resting across their lap, one simple hand resting on its neck; an elongated, narrow friend leans their head comfortably against the musician’s shoulder. Distinct silhouettes, minimal dot-and-dash faces, relaxed expressions. One oversized teal blanket covers their knees, built from a few broad alternating bands with visible over-under crossings. Echo that woven rhythm in sparse intersecting marker strokes across the flat colour fills, never intricate hatching. Loose dark contours, warm cream background, muted coral and ochre accents. Slightly off-centre arrangement with generous empty space above. No extra furniture or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
