Small 427×640, Medium 800×1200
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One butterfly in side profile rests on a single bowed grass blade in the lower-left half. Its closed wings rise into an exaggeratedly tall, narrow sail, with a rounded tip and a small peach lower lobe; tiny charcoal body, two curved antennae, minimal legs. Two large charcoal wing patches only, no intricate markings or veins. Broad lemon-yellow coloured-pencil fills, fresh green grass, loose dark graphite contours and lightly visible pencil grain. Fluid tapering curves, deliberately uneven edges, simple marker-like blocks of colour while remaining visibly pencil-drawn. Warm ivory paper background, ample empty space above and to the right. Playful, calm, legible at thumbnail size; flat shapes without realistic shading. No hatching, diagrams, people, text, logos or watermarks.
