Big Ice, Little Bucket
Three oversized blue ice cubes rise from a squat coral bucket in a simple textile-inspired marker illustration.
Small 512×640, Medium 960×1200
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 4:5 portrait. From a slightly elevated three-quarter viewpoint, three enormous irregular ice cubes protrude from a tiny squat coral ice bucket: one tall tilted cuboid behind two broad chunky cubes. The ice is the clear focal point; keep the bucket low and left, with generous empty space above and to the right. Textile-inspired appliqué composition made from overlapping felt-like colour patches, loose thick marker contours and broad marker fills. Pale cyan, icy blue and cream cube faces, each with only two or three large facets; no intricate transparency. A single buttery diagonal highlight crosses the upper cubes. Muted dusk-blue background, one simple dark grounding shadow. Exaggerated asymmetric proportions, cheerful and tactile, crisp thumbnail-readable silhouette. No people, scenery, intricate stitching or hatching. No text, logos or watermarks.
