The Long Phone Tap
A tall, tilted smartphone nearly touches a squat payment terminal in a square marker illustration with faded textile colours and simple woven patches.

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, square 1:1. Side-on view of one absurdly elongated smartphone leaning diagonally toward a comically squat contactless payment terminal on a plain counter. The phone's lower tip nearly touches the terminal's sloped reader surface; three small curved contactless strokes mark the gap. Arrange this single payment gesture in the lower-right two-thirds, leaving generous warm-cream space above and left. Broad uneven marker contours, flat dusty coral, deep indigo and muted teal fills. Large interlocking colour patches and a few blunt stitch-like marks suggest a woven tapestry, without intricate pattern or hatching. Slightly offset translucent marker fills remain within the objects, like imperfect layered ink. Narrow pale screen glow, blank terminal display, one soft grounding shadow. Clear silhouettes readable at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
