Room to Stretch
A black-paper figure with exaggerated proportions stretches overhead while seated on a low cushion against a warm ivory background.
Small 360×640, Medium 675×1200
Finished editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical. One person sits cross-legged on a comically wide, low oval cushion, taking a relaxed overhead stretch. Distinctive silhouette: elongated pear-shaped torso, tiny profile head tilted gently sideways, oversized arms forming an open arch above the head, simple mitten-like hands held apart. Construct the figure and cushion from solid black cut-paper shapes with slightly irregular scissor edges, finished with broad hand-drawn black marker contours. Use clean ivory negative-space gaps to separate arms, head and folded legs. Warm ivory paper background, one short black floor stroke. Place the figure slightly right of centre, leaving generous empty space at left and above. Playful, calm, immediately legible at thumbnail size; flat shapes, no intricate texture or hatching. No text, logos or watermarks.
