Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, landscape 1.85:1. One tulip occupies the left half, viewed from a steep bird’s-eye angle. Its absurdly oversized, asymmetric scarlet bloom forms a broad cup with three blunt pointed petals and a simple dark burgundy interior. A tiny curved stem peeks beneath it; two oversized blue-green leaves thrust outward at opposing angles like a braced stance. Express character through the plant silhouette alone, without a face or limbs. Uneven dark navy marker contours, broad flat colour fills, a few visible overlapping marker strokes. Pale frost-blue paper ground with one simple darker blue shadow beneath the flower; ample uninterrupted space on the right. Bold, playful, confrontational and immediately legible at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, scenery, people, text, logos or watermarks.
