Finished editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical. Overhead view of five dried kidney beans arranged in a loose, uneven open ring in the lower two-thirds, slightly right of centre. Each bean has a distinct exaggerated silhouette: swollen lobes, deep curved notches, one angular bulge, varied sizes. Keep every bean recognizable, without faces. Rust-red and muted terracotta marker fills, thick hand-drawn burgundy contours, one broad inset groove and a simple pale bevel band on each bean evoke shallow carved relief. Flat graphic construction with softly uneven marker edges; no intricate hatching or realistic surface detail. Pale misty ivory background, gentle diffuse tonal shading, ample uninterrupted space above and to the left. The arrangement is the single focal point. No architecture, people, text, logos or watermarks.
