Quiet Berth
A square hand-drawn illustration of an exaggerated sleeper-train berth, with walnut trim, cream bedding and a pale sweep of night light.
Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Finished editorial illustration, square 1:1. Oblique view into one empty sleeper-train compartment: a comically broad lower berth fills the lower-left foreground, its oversized cream pillow tucked beneath a tiny rounded rectangular railway window. A narrow upper bunk is cropped along the top-left edge. Walnut-brown berth surrounds carry just a few broad flowing grain marks. Outside the window is solid midnight blue. One pale diagonal band of passing roadside light crosses the pillow and blanket; no vehicle visible. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours, flat muted cream, walnut and indigo fills, with sparse oversized stipple dots suggesting engraving-inspired shadows. Exaggerated asymmetric proportions, simple legible shapes, quiet undisturbed bedding. Leave the upper-right wall largely empty. No intricate hatching or fine detail. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
