A House Taking Shape
A squat unfinished house with oversized roof timbers appears through a cropped window, rendered in broad autumn-coloured marker shapes.

Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 4:5 portrait. View through a large window toward one unfinished timber-frame house on a quiet residential construction plot. Crop the thick slate-grey window jamb along the left edge and its sill across the bottom. Beyond it, place a comically wide, squat house slightly right of centre, topped by disproportionately tall, jaunty roof rafters. A few large structural openings and one short stack of boards make the construction stage immediately legible. Build the house from overlapping russet, ochre and muted leaf-green silhouettes, with ember-orange shadow shapes, broad marker strokes and slightly irregular edges. Warm cream ground and generous empty sky above the roof. Flat graphic depth, simple confident shapes, no intricate timber joints or hatching. Clear at thumbnail size, expressive rather than diagrammatic. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
