Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. On the left half of a warm cream page, an exaggeratedly wide, squat sage-green countertop compost caddy sits open, viewed slightly from above. Its hinged lid leans backward. A chunky red apple core rests inside beside one oversized orange peel that rises above the rim in a long, loose corkscrew curl, its lower end visibly nestled among the scraps. Make the peel the expressive focal point: bright orange outside, pale yellow inside, broad simple silhouette. Uneven dark brown marker contours, broad flat colour strokes with slight marker overlap, minimal detail. One short counter edge and a soft pale shadow establish the setting; leave the right third spacious and empty. Playful asymmetry, immediately legible at thumbnail size. No people, smoke, arrows, diagrams, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
