At the Community Desk

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 2:1. A police community-service desk occupies the left two-thirds: an exaggeratedly wide, low terracotta counter with rounded corners. Behind it sits one fictional officer with narrow shoulders, an elongated neck, a small navy peaked cap and a simple navy uniform without insignia. Tiny facial features, relaxed expression, two simple hands resting apart on the counter; no visitor. Slight three-quarter viewpoint. Expressive hand-drawn marker fills combined with carved-relief illustration: thick irregular incised-looking contours, a few broad recessed planes and short offset shadows, no intricate hatching. Muted cream wall, midnight-blue floor, one pale buttery diagonal sweep of light suggesting passing headlights outside the frame. Counter and officer form one clear focal group; generous quiet space on the right. Flat limited palette, visible marker edges, legible at thumbnail size, no desk clutter. No text, logos or watermarks.
