Finished hand-drawn editorial marker illustration, landscape 8:5. One bacterial colony viewed straight on, arranged as a loose closed oval ring left of centre, with a conspicuously large empty centre. Roughly nine touching capsule-shaped cells form the ring: absurdly long narrow cells along the top, broad squat cells below, one oversized bean-shaped cell bulging outward on the right. Keep each outline distinct and the overall colony immediately legible. Contour-only treatment: thick electric-violet marker outlines, unfilled interiors matching the warm ivory background, gently uneven stroke edges and rounded ends. Playful asymmetry, simple silhouettes, generous empty space on the right. No internal cell anatomy, hatching, shading, faces, people, specimen dishes, equipment, diagrams or labels. No text, logos or watermarks.
