element with viewBox="0 0 400 300". No width/height attributes. Use shapes etc. Subject: pelican riding a bicycle. Should be recognizable and characterful. We need to think: composition: Bicycle base, wheels as circles or ellipses; frame maybe lines/polygon; seat etc. Pelican perched on top of the bike's handlebars? Perhaps the pelican is sitting on the bike seat with its legs over pedals. Draw a friendly cartoonish pelican. Plan: - Draw background (sky?) Maybe a light blue rectangle for ground, green grass. - Bicycle frame: two wheels as large circles near bottom; spokes maybe lines. Frame as polygon or path: seat tube up to handlebars, crossbar, pedal axle. - Pelican: body oval/ellipse, head circle with beak (yellow), eye, neck curved line to shoulders? Since pelican riding bike, we could have pelican perched on seat, with wings maybe as small shapes. Beak pointing downwards. Simplify: use ellipses for wheels radius 45 at (100,200) and (300,200). Frame lines connecting them: bottom line between wheels? Let's plan: - Wheels: and second at cx="300". Draw spokes as radial lines. - Bike frame: Use path: from front wheel hub (maybe 300?) Actually front wheel center is left? Could set rear wheel at x=120, y=200; front at x=260? Or easier: Rear wheel at (140,200), front at (280,200). Let's pick that. Better to define: - Rear wheel center at (150,200) radius 45. - Front wheel center at (290,200) radius 45. Frame: seat tube from rear hub up to a point near handlebar. Use lines connecting points. Define key frame points: - Rear hub: (150,200) - Top of seat tube: maybe (200,130) - Seat post? We'll add a seat shape. - Handlebars at front near head tube: point near front wheel centre but up: maybe (280,140). Actually handlebar post: (260,130) ? Simplify using lines: - line from rear hub to top of frame (maybe 200,150). - line from there across to front wheel's high point (e.g., (280,150)). - line down to front hub at (290,200). Add a crossbar: line between left side vertical and right side. Ok. Now Pelican: - Body as ellipse centered near seat location. Seat maybe around y=130? So pelican body at (200, 150) with width 60 height 80. But need to ensure not covering wheels incorrectly. Maybe place pelican perched on seat, which is above the frame at ~y=130. Let's decide: - Seat: a small rectangle as part of bike. We'll do pelican head (circle) placed near front handlebar region? Actually could be sitting forward. Simplify: Pelican sits on top of crossbar. We can draw the pelican in a slightly tilted pose, but simpler just draw body and head perched on seat. Ok we need to ensure everything is within viewBox 400x300. Plan coordinates: - Rear wheel at (120,180) r=40? Let's choose: rear hub (120,180), front hub (280,180). Wheels radius = 45 but then they'd overlap maybe. We'll use radius 30 to keep simple. Wait viewBox 400x300; we need enough space for both wheels and pelican. Let's put rear wheel center at (120,190) radius 35 => extents x:85-155 y:155-225. Front wheel center at (280,190) radius 35 => x:245-315 y:155-225. Bike frame points: Rear hub: (120,190) Seat tube top: maybe (160,130) Crossbar to front: from (160,130) to (280,130). Front vertical down to front hub: line from (280,130) to (280,190). Now pelican: Seat is at crossbar maybe seat point at ~ (180,130). We'll place pelican's body as a larger ellipse centered at (190,150), width 70 height 90. Head circle centered near front? Maybe just above handlebar: head at (250,90) radius maybe 20. But we need to keep proportion; also the pelican's beak will be downward from its head. Beak can be a polygon triangle. Let's decide: Pelican body ellipse: (makes tall vertical shape). That looks like body with head above? But that may conflict with bike seat which is at y=130; The pelican's belly will be below seat. Maybe better: Pelican perched on seat, its back (body) could be represented by a larger ellipse overlapping the bike seat. Let's keep simpler: we draw only head and body as separate shapes and attach to bike via lines indicating legs. But we can just place head at (200,90), body as large ellipse (center 190, 150). This will show pelican sitting on the crossbar? The seat is at (180-280) across, but okay. Add neck line: maybe a curved path or simple line connecting head to body. Simplify: We'll draw a vertical neck as a line from (200, 90) down to (200,150). That may look like it's attached at front of bike? Hmm. Better: The pelican sits with its body behind the seat, but head is ahead. This might be confusing. Given constraints not extremely strict; as long as recognizable. Alternative approach: place pelican perched on the bicycle handlebars (like a person), but that's more complex. Simplify: We'll make the bicycle look like it's being ridden by a human, replace head with pelican. The pelvis and legs are not needed; just show a pelican silhouette perched atop the bike, maybe the beak is near handlebar. Could have pelican perched on the seat with its body leaning forward. I think simplest: Draw bicycle as simple frame, draw pelican's head as circle at (260,130) and beak pointing downwards towards the front wheel; then draw a bigger ellipse for body overlapping behind seat. Also include wings as smaller ellipses on sides. Ok. Let's define final elements: - Background: Light sky rectangle maybe not needed; but could add ground green rectangle at bottom. Add for grass. But viewBox 300, we may want to make top lower? But the bike is low around y=180-225; grass could be bottom area. Simplify: Add for ground. Not needed though. We'll include simple sky: a blue rectangle across entire canvas with slight green ground at bottom. But must ensure not to obscure main subject. Let's make background as two layers: - Background color (light) maybe added earlier; but we can just start drawing after everything else? Actually order matters: first background, then bike frame lines etc. We'll put background rectangle early (bottom). It will be covered by shapes later if we draw it last? Usually we want background behind, so put it first. Let's decide ordering: 1) Background sky (light blue) 2) Ground (green) 3) Wheels and spokes 4) Bike frame lines (black) 5) Pelican body and head (white or light gray), beak (orange/yellow) 6) Details like eye, etc. 7) Some shading. But we must ensure shapes are drawn in order. Since we cannot have comments for ordering but will just define the elements in correct order by writing them sequentially. Ok. Implement: SVG root: Elements in order: 1) Background rectangle for sky: (sky blue). 2) Ground rectangle at bottom: (olive green). However this will cover part of bike. But we can place ground after wheels? We want background then maybe separate. Better to keep background sky only; not include ground to avoid covering. Simpler: just have light blue background and nothing else, let the bicycle be in middle with some green grass as small ellipses at bottom maybe not needed. Simplify: Only background sky (light blue). The rest will stand out. 3) Rear wheel: (black spokes later). Actually we need to draw both wheels first. Order: Wheels earlier than frame? In order back to front: background, then wheels, then frame lines, etc. But the wheels are part of bike; if we draw them before frame they will be covered partially by crossbars if overlapping; but typical drawing: wheels behind frame? Actually wheel hubs should be on top? For perspective, maybe frames drawn after wheels so that spokes show through? Typically it's okay whichever. We want to make sure that later details like pelican head overlay may cover some parts. Order: background sky (first), then bike components (wheels, frame) in order of back-to-front? The ground is not needed; we can just have simple shapes overlapping as we desire. The pelican maybe will overlap the bike and should be drawn after the bike to appear on top. So order: - Background rectangle (sky) - Wheels (circles) with spokes (lines) - Bike frame (lines) - some lines may cross wheels? We can set them later so they overlay wheel edges maybe but okay. - Pelican body shapes (ellipses etc.) - Details (eye, beak) Thus the pelican will appear in front of bike. Implementation details: Wheel centers at (120, 190) and (280, 190), radius 35. Draw both wheels: and. Add spokes: for each wheel we can draw several lines from center to edge at angles (like using elements). There are many but we can include maybe 8 per wheel. Could just have a couple. Let's make simple: For each wheel, we add line for hour positions: - wheel1 spokes: lines from (120,190) to points at radius: - top: (120,155) - bottom: (120,225) - left: (85,190) - right: (155,190) We can do 4 lines. Same for wheel2. Frame: - Rear hub to seat top: line from (120,190) to (160,130) - Crossbar horizontal from (160,130) to (280,130) - Front vertical down: line from (280,130) to (280,190) Also we might need a diagonal top tube connecting seat top to front hub? That's crossbar already. Actually typical bike also has top tube connecting seat point to handlebar post; but we can keep simple. Add seat as small rectangle: maybe between seat top and rear wheel at lower part? We'll not overcomplicate. Now Pelican: We need a body (ellipse) placed such that it sits on the crossbar. Let's place pelican's body ellipse centered near (200,150), rx=30, ry=45 (tall). This will overlap with bike frame lines but should be drawn after them so appears above. Pelican head: circle at maybe (250,95) radius 20. Attach neck as a line from (250,75)?? Actually need to connect head to body; we can draw a curved path or simple polyline with two lines: (250,115) -> (230,130). But better: just draw a line connecting the bottom of the head circle to point near body. Let's position. Head at cx=240? Eh. Let's set pelican head center at (260, 85), radius 18. Neck as polyline from (260,70) to (250,130). However need to make sure beak orientation downward: we can have a beak polygon pointing downwards from the lower part of head. Beak shape: maybe triangle points at tip below the head near (260, 95?). Actually head bottom is at y = 85+18=103. We'll place beak point slightly below and forward? Let's define a simple beak polygon with points (260, 103), (280, 115), (280, 91). That forms downward pointing. Pelican eye: small white circle offset in head. Wings: maybe two small ellipses left and right of body. We'll also draw a tail shape? Not needed. Overall pelican should be recognizable due to large orange beak and bird silhouette. Let's compute coordinates: - Pelican body ellipse (light gray). - Pelican head circle: This will be above the bike crossbar. But the head is at y=95, which may be too high? The bike frame's top horizontal crossbar is at y=130. So head is above that, making sense for a rider perched ahead of seat? But typical person rides with head up near handlebars (which are near front wheel). Our "handlebar" currently just a vertical line; we have no defined location for handlebars. We may want to adjust: maybe place pelican behind the seat but head turned forward. Might be too complex. Instead, perhaps easier: Place pelican at the back of bike with its body covering rear wheel hub and seat area; we can show beak pointing backward? Hard. Simplify: We'll just make the pelican as a large bird perched on top of the bicycle's front wheel (like on handlebars). That would involve head near front of bike, etc. But to keep things simple but recognizable, maybe better: - Draw a cartoonish pelican (rounded body) and attach it to bike via legs? We could just draw the pelican standing next to bike rather than riding. But requirement says "riding". Could be simplified as pelican perched on top of seat. Given difficulty, we can cheat: Make the pelican's head as if leaning over handlebars, body sloping down onto crossbar; this should still look like riding. Ok. Define: - Handlebar post point at (280,130) we have. We could put a small line for handlebar to right? Not necessary. Place the pelican's head at (340, 70)? Too far. Let’s step back and decide geometry precisely. We'll define key bike points: - Rear wheel center: R = (120, 190) - Front wheel center: F = (280, 190) - Frame: * Seat tube top: S_top = (160, 130) (where seat sits) * Crossbar/horizontal top: from (160,130) to handle position near front wheel: We'll have a point H = (250,130). Actually we need something close to front hub but not exactly; we can choose H = (250,130), and then line down to front hub at (280,190). This creates slanted frame. Good. Thus: - Rear hub -> seat top: (120,190) - (160,130) - Seat top -> handlepost: (160,130) - (250,130) (horizontal) - Handlepost -> front hub: (250,130) - (280,190) This is more realistic. Now seat position around (170,130). The pelican can sit on that point; maybe its body placed behind, head forward over handlebars. Thus we can set pelican's back anchored at the seat area: place body ellipse centered near (180,150) with large width. Head placed near front of bike, perhaps at coordinate near (260, 95) - that's above and forward. Good. Let's compute: Head center (cx=260, cy=95). That will be above crossbar line (which is at y=130). Good; head looks perched forward with neck down to the body. Neck can be drawn as a path or two lines: maybe polyline points (260,95) -> (240,130). That will connect from top of head downwards near seat area. However we need to place bottom point at around y=130 near the handlepost region? Actually bottom of neck could be at (230, 130) and then body ellipse anchored at (180,150). So we can draw a simple polyline for neck: line from head circle's bottom to a point near seat top. But head circle radius is 18; its lower y coordinate is 95+18=113. To have neck line go to around (230,130) which is slightly lower. We can draw polyline with two points: from (260,113) (approx bottom of head) to (240,130). But we cannot easily calculate bottom; easiest just place a single line from the center of head (260,95) downwards at angle. Simplify: Use path for neck that goes slightly forward downward. Ok let's skip explicit neck and just rely on overlapping shapes to show connection. The pelican body ellipse can be large enough so its top area overlays behind head; the head will appear in front of neck; thus it looks like sitting. Thus we can have: - Body: (light color) - Head: - Beak: (orange) - Eye: small white circle inside head e.g., - Wing: left side of body as maybe a darker ellipse at (165,150) rx=18 ry=30 fill="#c8d8f0". - Tail: simple polygon shape near rear wheel? Might be optional. The pelican will look like perched on seat and riding with legs over pedals (we can draw pedals but not needed). Add bicycle details: - Spokes: for each wheel, lines: Wheel1 spokes: points from center to edge at 0°, 90°, etc. We'll define simple lines: For rear wheel center (120,190): - line to right point (155,190) -> But need stroke: black. We'll add each wheel with 4 spokes maybe. Wheel2 center (280,190): - line to right point (315,190) etc. Add some additional lines for detail. Bike frame: - (rear hub to seat) - (seat top horizontal) - (handlepost to front hub) Maybe add a vertical line from seat point down to rear wheel? Actually we already have. Add chain: maybe not needed. Now draw wheels with spokes: We'll make group for each wheel, but order wise it's fine. Let's define the colors: For bike frame and spokes black or dark gray. Wheel rims could be a circle outline (stroke only) to show inner/outer? We can fill them. Simplify: Use fill dark color; we can also draw rim using stroke with white inside? Not needed. Ok. Now overall layering: We'll start with background sky rectangle. Then we draw ground green? Might omit, because not required but can add for sense. Let's include a simple green strip at bottom to show ground: Actually the canvas height is 300; if we set sky rectangle as entire area, then later adding ground will overlay and hide part of bike that should be above ground (like wheels maybe overlapping). We need to ensure wheels are visible. So draw sky first (cover whole), then draw ground below? But the wheels partly at y=190 which is inside background; if we add green rectangle bottom, it could cover the lower parts of wheels (y~200 to 300?). The wheel centers at y=190 and radius 35 will extend down to 225. If ground starts at y=260 maybe not interfering. Ok: Draw sky as rect covering entire canvas, fill #87CEEB (light blue). Then draw a green strip for grass starting at y=240 height=60. The bike wheels are around y=190, so they won't be overlapped because grass starts at y=240 > 190+? Actually bottom of wheel is y=190+35=225; still above green start at 240; okay. Thus we can keep ground after wheels without overlapping them. But if we draw the ground later (after bike), it may hide lower part of bike like seat or pedals etc. However the bike's frame is around y up to maybe 190? Actually some lines go from (250,130) to (280,190). That goes down to wheel hub at 190; still above ground start at 240; okay. Thus drawing order could be: sky rectangle first, then bike components, then pelican (which sits near seat and may be above ground but below top? The bird's head may be y~95 - which is above grass anyway. The body lower part will go down maybe to about 190+45=235; that is just at the boundary of grass (starting at 240). Slightly less than ground start, but maybe okay. We can set green rectangle starting y=260 height=40 so bird not hidden. Let's do: for grass. Thus all other objects have Y <= ~195 maybe, and the pelican body down to 150+45=195. So good; no overlap with grass. Thus we can draw grass after everything (or before?). Actually ground should be behind bike? Usually grass is below; but drawing order: if ground drawn last will appear in front covering some parts that might be intended (like legs). The bird's body may extend into area where ground would hide it. We could draw the bird first then background later, but we cannot easily because order must reflect back-to-front. Simplify: Place grass after everything else? That would cover bottom of bike and pelican partially if overlapping; but they are above ground (y=195 maybe just at top edge). If we set grass y from 280 downward, then not overlapping. So we can start with sky rectangle covering whole canvas (background). Then draw bike components and bird. Finally add grass rectangle in the bottom area to not cover any part of objects because it's behind? Actually drawing later places them on top; so if we want ground at back, we should draw after everything? Wait, typical layering: first background, then midground, then foreground, etc. If you draw sky rect first (covers whole), then bike and bird (over it), that's fine because they will be drawn over sky but may also cover part of sky; we want that. Then if we draw grass after them, the grass could overlap parts of the bike (like lower wheel) which might hide wheel hubs? That would not look nice. Thus better to have grass as a separate layer behind or overlapping only where needed; easiest: make ground just as fill for whole background with green, but then add sky portion on top. But we can't use mask. Alternative: Omit explicit grass; just have light blue sky entire canvas - it's fine. It might be less realistic but okay. Simplify further: skip ground altogether to avoid layering complexities. Thus final composition: - Background rectangle for sky (light blue) - Bicycle wheels, spokes - Frame lines - Pelican shapes No additional backgrounds. Ok. Now final SVG order: start with but note that we cannot specify width/height because they said no width/height attributes on the svg element itself, but inside we can use rects. Using a rect with x=0 y=0 width=400 height=300 is okay; it will be drawn as background. But that rectangle would be the first child and fill the entire viewBox, covering everything else? Actually if placed before other elements, later elements will overlay on top; the whole canvas will be filled with light blue. That's fine. We need to put this rect at start (first element after?). Since we cannot have CSS or layering by default except order of elements in markup: earlier elements are rendered first and subsequently overlapped by later ones? In SVG, later elements are on top of earlier if they overlap in same coordinate spaces. So we want background sky first (so it's at back) and then everything else after that. Thus is fine as the first child of. Now next elements: wheels etc., then frame, then pelican shapes. Ok. Implementation details: SVG tag: Then start drawing. Let's write them in order. First rect for sky. Second: rear wheel: (dark grey). We'll also draw spokes as lines later, but we may want to have spoke color lighter. Let's use stroke black maybe same as frame. Third: front wheel similar: Add spokes for both wheels: For rear wheel: define lines with stroke "#4b4b4b". Example lines: - (120,190) to (155,190) right - (120,190) to (85,190) left - (120,190) to (120,155) top - (120,190) to (120,225) bottom We can write each line with etc. Similarly for front wheel: center (280,190): - lines to right (315,190), left (245,190), top (280,155), bottom (280,225). Add those after wheels. Now frame: Line rear hub to seat: (thick? default maybe 2? We can set stroke-width.) Line seat top to handlepost: from (160,130) to (250,130). This will be the horizontal bar. Line handlepost to front hub:. Also maybe draw small vertical line from seat top downwards to rear wheel? Already there is frame, but we may add for realism: we already have rear hub to seat; okay. Add also a pedal crank? Could skip. Now pelican: Body ellipse: maybe with thin stroke to outline. Head circle:. (Use radius 12 for smaller head.) Eye: (small black dot) Beak polygon: points (cx+?), we need to place beak oriented downward from head near bottom front? Since we have head at (260,95) radius 12; lower part of head is at y=107. Let's position the beak tip slightly below and forward maybe (x ~280). Use points: (260,107) (point at bottom of head), (285,120) (tip outward right?), (285,94) (maybe upward left?). Hmm need triangular shape. Better to make a simple triangle pointing downwards from the front lower side. Actually typical beak for pelican is long and curved downward; but we can approximate with polygon: points (260,107), (280,115), (280,95). That's similar earlier. So - a bright orange. Note that the beak may overlap with head; we want it to appear in front? Should be drawn after head so appears on top. Our order: draw head first then beak later; correct. But earlier we said drawing later will be on top; so if we place beak after head, it's okay. We also want a small wing: maybe (lighter). This will appear behind body? It may overlap but fine. Optionally add tail polygon at rear wheel area. Add a line for neck: optional; we can skip and rely on overlapping shapes. Now ensure the pelican sits above bike seat. The body ellipse overlaps with frame lines near seat region (y~130-150). Because it's drawn after frame, it will appear in front of frame where they intersect (like overlapping). This shows that bird is perched and in front of bike. Make sure the head is not covering entire wheel etc. It should be above crossbar maybe but may overlap with handlepost line if overlapped? Not necessary. Now final ordering: sky rect, rear wheel, front wheel, spokes lines for both wheels (maybe after wheels), frame lines, bird body ellipse, bird wing ellipse, bird head circle, eye, beak polygon. Also maybe some other details like a small feather shape. Ok. Potential issues: - Overlap of head with crossbar or handlepost may cause weird; but fine. - The pelican's front might appear to "ride" the bike due to position of head over the frame? Possibly. We could also add pedaling wheels? Already have wheels. Add a small pedal shape near center: we can skip. Now ensure no external references or CSS classes. All shapes must be defined with fills, strokes etc., but avoid using class attribute. Make sure to include elements for spokes and frame. Use stroke-width maybe "1". Set fill colors as hex values, fine. Let's produce the final SVG code accordingly. Be careful about order: we want background first; then wheels? Or we could put sky rect after all other but before everything else? Actually if placed after others it would be drawn on top covering them. So we need to ensure we have correct ordering: We'll place sky rect as the very first element inside. Then next children for wheels, spokes etc., then bird. Thus markup:
