One Step into Dawn
A long-legged zebra lifts one hoof over a peach patch of light, surrounded by a sparse pastel meadow.
Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Finished hand-drawn marker storybook illustration, square 1:1. One zebra occupies the left half of a quiet meadow, facing right in three-quarter profile. Exaggerated silhouette: a short rounded body perched on four improbably long thin legs, oversized upright ears and a small muzzle. One front hoof lifts cautiously into a flat peach oval of dawn light. Broad charcoal stripes follow the ivory body; keep markings few and bold. A long lavender shadow trails behind. Pale mint ground, icy lavender sky, just three loose grass tufts, ample breathing room on the right. Early summer atmosphere, no snow. Thick irregular marker contours, broad translucent colour fills, slight stroke overlap, minimal facial detail. Clear readable silhouette at thumbnail size; no intricate hatching or detailed scenery. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
