Black Bean, Big Curve
A single elongated black bean in charcoal and muted lavender colored pencil, placed diagonally on a warm cream background.
Small 480×640, Medium 900×1200
Finished hand-drawn colored-pencil editorial illustration, portrait 3:4. One oversized black bean lies diagonally across the lower-left two-thirds of a warm cream paper background. Exaggerate its curved silhouette: one broad swollen end, one narrower rounded end, and a deep but soft inward notch. Keep it unmistakably a black bean, with a tiny ivory oval hilum along the inner curve. Dense charcoal-black and deep indigo pencil fills, one broad muted-lavender highlight along the upper edge, softly irregular contours and visible coarse pencil grain. A small flat gray-violet shadow grounds it. Bold, simple masses with the immediacy of a marker sketch, but visibly colored pencil. Generous empty space above and to the right. No intricate hatching, diagram elements, people, text, logos or watermarks.
