Square 1:1 editorial spot illustration, expressive hand-drawn marker on warm cream. High oblique viewpoint: a comically short, extra-wide ochre wooden footbridge runs diagonally across a narrow teal river with one angular bend. Simple low rails and just four broad deck planks. One traveler pauses midway through crossing, with unusually long thin legs, a tiny head, narrow rust-red torso and one foot angled forward. They unfold an oversized pale-yellow accordion map, one panel still lifting; two simple mitten-shaped hands, head tipped toward it, minimal face. The map has only a few broad coloured patches, not detailed cartography. Its folds subtly echo the river bend. Place the bridge and traveler in the lower-right area, leaving generous cream breathing room above and left. Bold irregular contours, flat marker fills, slight stroke overlap, unmistakable silhouettes at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, extra people or props. No text, logos or watermarks.
