A Slight Change of Course
Five exaggerated goose silhouettes fly over layered teal hills, with one bird tilted away from the loose diagonal formation.

Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, portrait 5:8. Five migrating geese form a small, loose diagonal row near the centre of a vast warm-apricot sky, occupying roughly a quarter of the frame width. Dark aubergine silhouettes, tiny plump bodies, short readable necks and comically elongated wings. Different wing angles capture one shared instant; one goose banks slightly away from the others, breaking the repeated shapes. Below them, three broad overlapping hill silhouettes in pale sage, muted teal and deep blue-green create a spacious valley, with the nearest hill cropped by the bottom edge. Flat colour, softly irregular marker edges and a few broad translucent stroke overlaps within the hills. Strong silhouette clarity at thumbnail size, playful proportions, generous empty sky. No fine hatching, motion trails, arrows or extra wildlife. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
