Little Cobra, Giant Hood
A crimson cobra with an oversized tilted hood and tiny coil sits left of centre on a pale mint ground, rendered in broad woven-looking marker strokes.
Small 640×533, Medium 1200×1000
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 6:5 landscape. One crimson cobra sits left of centre in the lower half of a pale mint background, occupying roughly half the frame height. Its tiny compact coil supports an absurdly broad flared hood, tilted sideways and wider on one side; a small rounded head and two simple dark eyes keep the snake immediately legible. Bold uneven marker contours and broad flat colour fills. Inside the hood, a few translucent crimson and sky-blue bands cross over and under, suggesting coarse woven ribbons and overlapping colour exposures without depicting another scene. Keep the hood silhouette clear, with no intricate scales or hatching. A single soft sky-blue grounding stroke beneath the coil. Playful, curious posture, ample uninterrupted space above and to the right. Simple tactile marker texture, not photorealistic fabric. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
