Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Directly overhead view of one drought-stricken reservoir occupying the left two-thirds of the frame. Its exaggeratedly broad, asymmetric basin has exposed ochre earth, two sweeping terracotta shoreline bands and only three large branching cracks. A tiny muted-blue pool remains against a comically short, thick gray dam at the basin's lower end. Make the contrast between enormous empty basin and little remaining water immediately legible at thumbnail size. Chunky felt-tip outlines, broad flat marker fills, slight stroke overlaps and pleasantly irregular edges. Warm cream surrounding ground continues into generous empty space on the right. Restrained sand, rust, charcoal and blue palette; no intricate hatching or small details. One continuous landscape, not a map or diagram. No people, text, interface elements, logos or watermarks.
