Tall Abacus, Big Beads

Finished editorial illustration in a tall 1:3 banner. One improbably tall, narrow abacus stands slightly right of centre in the lower two-thirds, viewed almost frontally with a little side depth. Dark ink-blue frame, elongated uprights, stubby broad feet, three widely spaced horizontal rods. Each rod carries three oversized flattened-round beads: coral on the top row, turquoise in the middle, golden yellow below. Slide the beads into uneven clusters along their rods. Render as a tiny coarse-resolution pixel vignette enlarged with crisp square steps; broad marker-like colour variation within the chunky shapes, restrained irregular contours, no intricate shading. Warm cream background, one small blocky grounding shadow, generous empty space above and to the left. Playful exaggerated proportions, unmistakable counting tool, not a diagram or icon sheet. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
