Pears for Mittens
Two exaggerated figures offer pears and mittens across a snowy counter in a simple, bright marker illustration.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished hand-drawn marker storybook illustration, 16:9 landscape. At one small outdoor counter, a broad, squat pear grower in a rust coat faces a very lanky neighbour in a blue coat. The grower presents an open coral reusable snack box containing two oversized yellow pears; the neighbour offers a pair of oversized green mittens in return. Keep the goods separated and clearly visible above the counter: one unmistakable barter, no money. Simple mitten-shaped hands, tiny facial features, friendly attentive expressions, distinctive asymmetric silhouettes. Thin snow rests along the counter edge; a few large snowflakes cross a pale blue background patch. Place the exchange left of centre with generous warm-white breathing room to the right. Loose dark marker contours, broad flat colour fills, slight stroke overlap, bright winter palette. Minimal setting, no knit patterns, no intricate hatching, no extra people. No text, logos or watermarks.
