Different Chapters, Same Bench
Two differently proportioned friends lean together on a bench between a stroller and a travel backpack, rendered in violet and peach with marker fills and simple embroidered contours.

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. Two adult friends sit shoulder to shoulder on a simple park bench, heads gently inclined toward each other. One has a broad, compact silhouette; the other has a long torso and dangling narrow legs. Beside the compact friend stands a comically squat stroller with a closed rounded canopy; beside the lanky friend rests an oversized travel backpack. Their closeness is the focal point; the belongings quietly suggest different life stages. Minimal faces, simple mitten-like hands resting on laps. Loose hand-drawn marker colour fills combined with a textile-inspired embroidered look: thick yarn-like outlines and a few widely spaced stitch dashes, no intricate stitching. Violet dusk background, warm peach sunset light on their shoulders, one long shared shadow. Slightly off-centre arrangement in the lower half, generous empty space above. Flat shapes, expressive asymmetric proportions, legible at thumbnail size. No background people, text, logos or watermarks.
