Big Pads, Skinny Stand
A four-pad electronic percussion controller on a slender stand, illustrated in graphite with restrained coral marker accents beneath a small pendant lamp.
Small 427×640, Medium 800×1200
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One electronic percussion controller mounted on an absurdly slender, slightly crooked stand with a broad stable foot. Its oversized upright charcoal housing contains four plump square rubber pads, arranged two by two; no keyboard, no knobs, no control labels. View nearly frontally from seated eye level, with a little of the housing's top edge visible. Place the instrument left of centre, leaving open cream-paper space on the right. A small pendant shade near the upper-left edge casts a soft pool of light onto the pads and floor. Loose graphite contours, broad soft pencil shading, visible paper tooth, no intricate hatching. Sparse dusty-coral marker accents along the casing and stand foot retain a playful marker-drawn editorial feel. Exaggerated top-heavy silhouette, simple shapes legible at thumbnail size, minimal interior suggested only by a floor shadow. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
