A Ribbon of Warmth
An exaggeratedly wide coral soup bowl beneath a looping cream steam ribbon, with loose marker texture and sparse embroidered accents.
Small 640×480, Medium 1200×900
Finished editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. One comically wide, shallow coral bowl of golden soup sits low in the right half on a muted plum tabletop. An oversized cream ribbon of steam rises in a loose asymmetric S-curve, leaning toward the upper middle. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours, broad flat colour fills and dry marker edges. Suggest an embroidered illustration through a few large running-stitch marks along the bowl rim and thick thread-like edges on the steam; no intricate stitching or hatching. A single smooth pale highlight on the bowl contrasts with the matte colour fields. Dim aubergine background, warm coral and golden soup, luminous cream steam. Small soft grounding shadow, no extra props. Strong thumbnail-readable silhouette, generous empty space on the left. Simple, playful, tactile artwork, not a photograph or an icon sheet. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
