Big Leaves, Little Pot

Finished editorial hand-drawn marker illustration, square 1:1. One whole potted basil plant, seen from a slightly elevated three-quarter view. A tiny, comically squat cocoa-brown pot sits near the lower-right corner; one long curved stem leans diagonally toward the upper left. Five oversized, broad basil leaves form an uneven, clearly legible silhouette, with the largest leaf projecting sideways. Caramel leaf fills, dark cocoa gestural outlines, warm ivory background. Each leaf has only one quick central vein stroke. Loose overlapping marker passes, occasional open contours, flat colour and lively hand pressure; no intricate hatching. Entire plant and pot visible, generous breathing room around the silhouette, especially at upper right. One short grounding stroke beneath the pot. Simple, playful, bold at thumbnail size. No people, scientific details, text, logos or watermarks.
