Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, landscape 5:3, full bleed. A quiet library corner, shown side-on. On the right, one person in profile has a tiny rounded head, a broad pear-shaped torso, short legs and one elongated forearm. Their solid ink-black silhouette is the focal point, face defined only by a simple nose contour. Leaning slightly forward, one uncomplicated hand slides a rust-red book into an exaggeratedly long, low bookshelf extending toward the left edge. Two shelf rows contain sparse groups of chunky, uneven book shapes in black, muted rust and ochre; blank spines. Warm cream ground with ample uninterrupted space across the upper third. Keep the figure away from the central gutter. Strong silhouette contrast, broad felt-tip fills, slightly irregular edges and occasional overlapping marker strokes. Flat shapes, no gradients, intricate hatching or decorative props. Calm, playful and legible at thumbnail size. No text, logos or watermarks.
