The Tall Ladder Hostel
A hand-drawn hostel bunk bed with exaggerated proportions, colourful bedding, a backpack and a hanging enamel cup.
Small 427×640, Medium 800×1200
Finished editorial spot illustration in expressive hand-drawn marker, 2:3 portrait. A single hostel sleeping nook viewed obliquely: one jade-green metal bunk bed with gently curved vintage bed ends, a comically wide lower mattress, oversized ochre pillows, and a tall skinny ladder along the right side. The upper mattress recedes naturally in perspective. Coral blankets form simple broad shapes. One squat travel backpack rests beneath the lower bed; one cream enamel cup hangs from the near bedpost. Place the bunk low and left, leaving warm ivory breathing room above and to the right. A minimal floor wash and one wall corner establish the room. Thick imperfect contours, broad translucent marker fills, slight stroke overlaps, playful asymmetric silhouette, very few details. Soft warm daylight suggested by one pale shadow. No people, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
