The Unimpressed Tulip
A pale lilac tulip with a tiny neutral face leans above a squat teal vase tied with a simple ribbon, drawn in broad marker strokes.

Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One enormous pale-lilac tulip blossom on a long, slightly crooked green stem rises from an exaggeratedly squat, wide teal vase. Two tiny dark eyes and a short neutral mouth make the blossom a deadpan flower character, not a human. Two broad asymmetric leaves extend like a restrained shrug. A single ivory ribbon bow decorates the vase. Place the vase low and left of centre; the blossom leans right, leaving generous pale icy-blue space above and along the left edge. Broad flat marker fills, loose dark-blue contours, slight stroke overlaps, very simple shapes. A narrow aqua accent beneath the vase suggests reflected light; one soft grounding shadow. Cool, playful, clean, legible at thumbnail size. No people, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
