Room for a Beginning

Finished editorial storybook illustration in expressive hand-drawn marker, vertical 4:5. One empty nursery viewed from low near-floor height. A comically broad, squat mint-green crib dominates the lower-left foreground, seen obliquely, with six chunky widely spaced slats and a plain cream mattress. Its full silhouette remains inside the frame. A small coral dresser sits against the far wall at right. Above it hangs a butter-yellow pendant shade, unusually squat beneath an exaggeratedly long cord. Pale warm-cream walls, a simple peach floor plane, generous uninterrupted wall space through the upper left. Fresh, welcoming palette suggesting a room ready for a new arrival. Flat graphic lighting, broad marker fills, slightly wobbly dark contours, sparse visible stroke overlaps. Clear near-and-far scale contrast, minimal perspective detail, strong thumbnail readability. No people, animals, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
