Finished editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait, overhead tabletop view rotated slightly clockwise. A comically long, narrow ochre shipping carton runs diagonally through the lower two-thirds. Two simple hands enter from opposite edges: one steadies the carton while the other presses a broad cream tape strip along its closed centre seam. An oversized coral packing-tape dispenser and small blunt scissors sit close beside the carton, forming one compact working cluster. Leave the upper-left area open. Expressive hand-drawn marker fills, irregular edges and bold, widely spaced dashed contours resembling running stitches; no intricate embroidery or hatching. Playfully exaggerated object proportions, clear silhouettes and minimal finger detail. Muted slate-blue tabletop, warm cardboard and a single deep blue offset shadow create stormy tonal contrast without depicting weather. One coherent packing moment, legible at thumbnail size. No text, labels, logos or watermarks.
