A Boat and Its Long Reflection
A coral paper boat floats in a blue rain puddle, with a stretched reflection broken by a few broad ripples.

Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, landscape 4:3, presented as one spacious comic panel with a loose dark border. Oblique overhead view of a broad blue rain puddle on warm ivory pavement. A single tiny coral paper boat, exaggeratedly wide and squat, floats near the upper-right edge. Its coral reflection stretches diagonally toward the lower left, absurdly long but recognizably echoing the folded boat, interrupted by three broad blue ripple gaps. Make the reflection the dominant visual shape, not a cast shadow. Soft overcast daylight, quiet isolated mood, playful proportions. Chunky navy contours, broad flat marker fills, slight stroke overlap, minimal fold details. Leave ample untouched ivory space around the puddle. Simple shapes legible at thumbnail size; no hatching or extra props. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
