Big-Rimmed Fish Crate
An empty blue fishing crate with exaggerated curved proportions, fabric-like colour panels and loose marker outlines on a warm cream background.
Small 512×640, Medium 960×1200
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 4:5 portrait. One empty blue slotted fish-handling crate viewed obliquely from above, placed diagonally across the lower two-thirds with open cream space above. Playfully exaggerated proportions: a huge thick bowed rim, outward-bulging near wall, squat base and two tiny asymmetric handle openings. Gentle convex-mirror-like distortion, but no mirror depicted. Keep the crate immediately recognizable, with only four broad drainage slots and a visible empty interior. Textile-inspired appliqué composition built from overlapping cobalt, faded turquoise and navy fabric-like panels, a few widely spaced stitch marks, and loose chunky marker contours. Flat marker fills with slight felt-tip streaking; no intricate fabric detail. Warm amber light catches the upper-left rim, with one simple muted ochre shadow beneath. Restrained palette, bold silhouette, generous breathing room. No people, fish, text, logos or watermarks.
