Big Blue Bean
A wide cobalt kidney bean with a small silver-grey seed scar rests toward the right of a cream landscape composition.
Small 640×427, Medium 1200×800
Finished editorial illustration in hand-drawn marker, 3:2 landscape. One dry kidney bean rests on a plain warm-ivory surface, seen from an oblique overhead angle. Place it in the right half with ample empty space to the left. Exaggerate its kidney silhouette into a comically broad, squat shape: one large rounded lobe, one smaller lobe, a deep inward notch, and a tiny silver-grey oval seed scar beside the notch. Rich cobalt flat fill, dark-blue irregular marker contour, one broad pale-blue highlight. A wide pale cream wedge of light enters diagonally from the left; a short blue-grey shadow grounds the bean. Simple confident strokes, slightly uneven handmade edges, no gradients or intricate texture. Keep the silhouette immediately legible at thumbnail size. No sprouts, roots, people, props, diagrams, text, logos or watermarks.
