One Pencil · Axial Foreshortening

SUBJECT
Draw exactly one yellow hexagonal pencil with a pink eraser, a silver ferrule, and a sharpened graphite tip. Its eraser end points toward the viewer at image lower left; its graphite tip recedes toward image upper right. All parts connect along one straight axis.

COMPOSITION
Use a close three-quarter view along the pencil's length. Place the near eraser below and left of center and the distant tip above and right of center. Keep the entire pencil visible, with ample pale background around its diagonal silhouette.

STYLE GUIDE
1. Shape & line
Construct the pencil with axial foreshortening: make the lower-left eraser end visibly broad and show its end face, then converge the shaft's long edges toward the upper-right tip. Compress the projected shaft length so the pencil reads as pointing into depth; keep the ferrule and shaft centered on the same axis.

2. Color & light
Use warm yellow for the shaft, muted pink for the eraser, and cool gray for the ferrule. Light from image upper left, giving the shaft's upper-left-facing plane a pale yellow value and its lower-right-facing plane an ochre value. Carry this light direction through the eraser and ferrule with broad, simple shading.

3. Texture & material
Give the painted shaft smooth, opaque color and the eraser a soft matte surface. Describe the ferrule with one broad bright strip and one darker strip that wrap around its curved surface. At the distant tip, separate the exposed tan wood from the dark graphite with a few clean shapes, keeping texture subordinate to the depth construction.

4. Composition
Let the large lower-left end establish the foreground and the small upper-right tip establish the distance. Preserve clear background gaps around both ends, and use crisper edges at the near eraser with slightly quieter edges at the distant tip. Keep the diagonal unobstructed so the size change and converging edges can be read together.

PRIORITY
Preserve the requested identity, count, action, composition and output settings. Apply the style rules within those constraints; a style reference must not replace the subject or layout. Within the style: Make the near-to-far size change and shortened projected length immediately readable.

AVOID
Avoid a side-on pencil with parallel shaft edges and equally sized ends.

OUTPUT
Create one square illustration with no text, labels, measurements, watermark, or border.

SELF-CHECK
Check that the broad lower-left eraser and small upper-right tip connect through one straight, receding shaft.
