A single paddler in an ochre jacket crosses slate-blue water in a wide adaptive kayak, with simplified woven-marker textures.

Finished hand-drawn editorial marker illustration, 3:2 landscape. From a slightly elevated three-quarter viewpoint, one broad-shouldered adult paddles a squat, wide teal adaptive kayak diagonally from the lower left toward open water on the right. A supportive high-backed recreation seat with simple side supports and a single pivot-mounted double-bladed paddle make the accessible setup visible without diagrammatic detail. Ochre rain jacket, simple life vest, minimal face, mitten-like hands resting on the paddle shaft. Exaggerated hull width and oversized paddle blades; relaxed, purposeful posture. Broad interlacing marker bands suggest woven cloth within the large colour shapes, with no fine hatching. Muted slate-blue water, two soft ripples, pale misty background, warm clothing contrast. Flat shapes, gently irregular edges, ample breathing room, legible at thumbnail size. No extra people, medical equipment, text, logos or watermarks.
