Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, ultra-wide 3:1. On the right two-thirds, one adult gardener in side profile bends over a comically wide, shallow terracotta planting trough. Distinctive silhouette: very long curved back, short sturdy legs, small head, oversized work boots. Minimal face and simple mitten-like hands lower one leafy seedling into a small hollow in the soil. The planting gesture is the focal point. Loose graphite contours and broad, soft graphite shading remain clearly visible; broad muted marker fills add olive workwear and terracotta colour. Pale-peach backdrop wash, one soft grounding shadow, ample untouched space on the left. Slightly elevated viewpoint so the soil surface is visible. Simple bold shapes, expressive asymmetry, readable at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, extra tools, background figures or room details. No text, logos or watermarks.
