Finished bold poster illustration in hand-drawn marker, square 1:1. One sparrow stands low in the right half of an empty shared apartment corridor, its tiny head tilted inquisitively toward a closed door. Exaggerate its round ochre belly, small brown-capped head, short triangular beak, pale cheek patch and two thin legs; one simple dark wing shape identifies the bird. A hard-edged cream oval of overhead light surrounds its feet, with a compact dark cast shadow. Cool slate-blue walls and floor; two minimal door outlines and one receding floor edge establish the hallway without clutter. Leave generous quiet space across the upper left. Thick slightly irregular marker contours, broad flat fills, lightly visible stroke overlaps, strong thumbnail silhouette. No intricate feather detail or hatching. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
