Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, square 1:1. One blackbird in left-facing side profile rests in the lower half of a warm cream paper background. Exaggerated balloon-round charcoal body, tiny head tucked slightly toward its shoulder, small orange-yellow bill, subtle golden eye ring, and an exceptionally long tapered tail extending diagonally toward the right. Two short, simple feet touch a single loose ground stroke. Broad felt-tip marker contours and flat charcoal fills, with a few open cream patches containing sparse, clearly separated stipple dots inspired by engraving. No intricate hatching or fine feather detail. Slightly irregular handmade edges, relaxed posture, strong silhouette readable at thumbnail size. Asymmetric placement with generous empty space above and around the bird. Restrained charcoal, cream and orange palette. No people, props, text, logos or watermarks.
