The Crescent Cut
A loose marker illustration viewed from above, showing an oversized rotary cutter slicing a curved strip from yellow fabric.
Small 427×640, Medium 800×1200
Finished editorial marker illustration, 2:3 portrait, overhead view of fabric cutting on a warm ivory work surface. A lemon-yellow cloth panel enters from the lower-left edge. One rotary fabric cutter sits at the leading end of a broad curved cut: absurdly large silver-grey circular blade, stubby bulbous navy handle, simple unmistakable silhouette. A narrow crescent of freshly cut fabric curls away, exposing an ivory gap behind the blade. Two short loose navy strokes suggest the cutter's forward sweep. Keep the action in the lower two-thirds, with generous empty space above and to the right. Expressive uneven marker contours, broad flat fills, a few loose edge strokes suggesting soft cloth, no intricate detail or hatching. Playful asymmetric proportions, legible at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
