Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. One joyful teacher stands left of centre, leaning sideways with both arms flung wide and chin lifted. Distinctive exaggerated silhouette: short boxy torso, enormous coral cardigan sleeves, improbably long teal trouser legs, small ochre shoes planted apart. One simple hand holds a short chunky white piece of chalk. Minimal face with closed curved eyes and a broad smile; simple mitten-like hands. The asymmetrical pose is the clear focal point, readable at thumbnail size. Broad opaque marker fills, slightly uneven dark navy contours, a few visible stroke overlaps, no intricate hatching. Sandy cream background with generous empty space on the right and one soft pale ground shadow. Flat, gentle tonal contrast rather than realistic modelling. No other people, underwater scenery, diagrams, text, logos or watermarks.
