The Long-Petalled Daisy

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One lanky meadow daisy rises from the lower-left edge on a long, gently arcing stem, its bloom tilted in three-quarter side view near the upper right. A tiny ochre centre supports seven extravagantly long, uneven ivory petals, some reaching outward and others drooping like loose ribbons. One oversized sage-green leaf projects sideways halfway up the stem. Charcoal is the dominant medium: chunky black contours, occasional broken edges and broad rubbed shadows, with simple ochre and sage marker underpainting to match a playful illustration collection. Warm ivory paper, generous empty space on the left, no landscape or props. Clear thumbnail silhouette, deliberately exaggerated proportions, minimal internal detail, no intricate hatching. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
