An Open Course

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 4:3, conceived as one expressive still from a computer-animated cut-paper sequence. One black sailboat sits left of centre, facing right: an exceptionally short, broad hull supports an enormous asymmetric triangular sail leaning forward. A single chunky curling wave wraps around the hull, with ivory negative-space channels keeping boat and water clearly legible. Use flat black-paper silhouettes, slightly irregular hand-cut edges and subtle broad black-marker fill texture; no intricate detail or dimensional rendering. Warm ivory background, no horizon, generous empty space to the right. The tilted hull and springy wave create a buoyant animated pose without motion trails or repeated objects. Bold, playful proportions, unmistakable at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
