Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. A single sleepy woodpecker rests inside an oversized tree hollow, seen in side profile. Build the hollow as one broad, irregular midnight-plum marker mass in the lower-right portion of warm ivory paper. Leave the bird as a clean unpainted negative silhouette within this darkness: improbably elongated pear-shaped body, tiny head nestled into its shoulders, pointed beak angled slightly downward, short wedge tail and one simple closed-eye dash. A small rust-red crest identifies the woodpecker. Its silhouette meets the pale lower lip of the hollow at two small feet. Suggest the trunk with only a broad muted-clay outer rim, cropped at the bottom and right edge. Velvety matte fills, slightly uneven marker edges, no hatching or intricate bark. Strong thumbnail readability, generous empty upper-left space. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
