A Droplet at the Window

Finished hand-drawn pencil editorial illustration, square 1:1. Inside a modest rural railway waiting room, an exaggeratedly tall, narrow timber window occupies the right side, its top cropped by the frame. Pale blue-grey fog covers the inside glass. Four oversized rounded condensation beads cling to it; one elongated droplet slides downward, leaving a single clear streak. A tiny ochre sill and the cropped end of a simple wooden waiting bench establish the interior. Keep the outside indistinct. Warm cream wall provides generous empty space on the left. Wobbly graphite contours, broad coloured-pencil fills with the bold simplicity of marker artwork, restrained blue-grey and ochre palette, soft diffuse daylight. Strong asymmetrical silhouette, legible at thumbnail size, minimal texture, no intricate hatching. One scene, no people, no diagrams, no text, no logos or watermarks.
