Finished editorial gouache illustration, square 1:1. One tall, narrow pelican stands slightly left of centre in three-quarter view, stretching a single enormously oversized wing upward and toward the upper right. Its wing forms a broad curved fan with just five blunt feather shapes; the other wing stays folded. A substantial pale-peach bill points diagonally down-left, with a rounded throat pouch clearly identifying the pelican. Small head, long curved neck, slim body, two simple webbed feet. Opaque terracotta and muted rust paint, warm cream highlights, pale peach paper background. Broad hand-painted fills with sparse, loose marker-like contour accents; gently uneven edges, minimal surface texture. One small rust ground shadow, no scenery or props. Keep the entire wing and feet inside generous margins, with open space on the right below the wing. Playful, cozy, immediately legible at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
