Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 4:5 portrait. Three-quarter view of a comically squat woodworking hand plane resting on a short honey-coloured plank in the lower-left portion. One continuous, absurdly oversized wood shaving emerges from the plane mouth and curls upward into a loose asymmetric loop, its free end bending toward the right. Keep the shaving recognizably thin wood, with smooth ribbon-like bends and an irregular outer silhouette. The plane and attached shaving form one clear focal unit. Expressive graphite-pencil contours, occasional doubled sketch lines, broad restrained ochre and muted teal marker fills; pencil drawing remains the dominant character. Warm ivory paper background, a small soft grounding shadow, generous empty space around the loop. Simple chunky shapes, minimal tool detail, no intricate hatching or detailed wood grain. Playful exaggerated proportions, legible at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
