Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 4:5 portrait. One male-presenting train-station cleaner sits low-right on a comically undersized folding stool, an oversized broom resting diagonally across his knees. Give him a distinctive broad pear-shaped torso, short legs, large plain work shoes, simple mitten-like hands and a minimal, quietly thoughtful face. His slightly off-balance posture and inadequate seat suggest uncertain employment without slapstick or humiliation. Plain chalk-white work clothes, no insignia. Establish the empty station with one cropped canopy support and a single receding platform-edge line. Bold, loose graphite contours with the directness of marker drawing; broad rubbed graphite shadows, no intricate hatching. Warm beige paper, white shapes, restrained gray shading and diffuse daylight. Keep the silhouette legible at thumbnail size, with generous empty space above and left. No other people, text, logos or watermarks.
