A Small Cup, a Long Pause
A playfully elongated café visitor sits at a broad round table against a wall crossed by diagonal sunlight.

Finished editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical. Oil-paint look using broad opaque colour strokes and loose, expressive marker-like outlines; simple hand-drawn shapes, no intricate texture. In a compressed side view of one café interior, a visitor with a long pear-shaped ochre torso, short bent legs and a tiny head sits on a low stool at lower left. Minimal profile face, one simple mitten-shaped hand resting beside a tiny ivory coffee cup on an exaggeratedly broad terracotta round table. Their relaxed forward curve makes the visitor and cup the focal grouping. A single diagonal sunlight boundary crosses the continuous wall and floor, separating warm cream light from muted plum shadow, not separate panels. Flattened overlapping layers, sparse furnishings, generous empty wall in the upper third. Strong silhouettes legible at thumbnail size. No other people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
