Draws flat vector spot illustrations of tall, long-legged people doing design and coding things, with solid black as a main colour. Traits: no outlines on coloured fills; black as big solid shapes (hair, trousers, shoes, devices) and as thin detail lines; denim blue, leaf green, sun yellow and tomato red on cream skin; dot eyes, round glasses and blush; big shoes on one thin black ground line; two stars and two plus-sparkles as the only decor. Covers palette, line weights, characters, heads, hands, props, composition and a parts helper for limbs, shoes, heads, hands and paper props.

# Illustration: Flat with black

Flat-colour scenes of one or two lanky, expressive people acting out a design or coding moment: running from a pile of messages, hovering over a deploy button, a stand-up at a sticky-note board. Colour areas carry the drawing with no outline; solid black does the heavy lifting as hair, trousers, shoes and devices, and as thin detail lines. It suits product empty states, onboarding, error pages and marketing cards that need a person with some personality.

Boundary: use `illustration-flat` for the outline-free style with a navy-and-lavender palette and floating confetti; use `illustration-outlined-cartoon` when every shape should carry an inked outline and the heads are big; use `illustration-line-interior` for thin indigo outlines on white fills. This skill is the one where black is a fill colour.

Extracted from a set of 42 original design-and-coding cards in 14 styles; the three cards in examples/ are this style's shipped cards.

## The look in one sentence
Flat, outline-free colour shapes in four saturated mid-tones, anchored by large solid black masses (20–40% of all painted area), with black reused as thin 0.75–1.6 detail lines and white reused as thin seams on the black.
