Broad Barrel, Long Shadow
A squat, wide wooden barrel with cream hoop details casts a long pointed red shadow in a simple marker illustration.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape, silhouette-based graphic shadow play. One closed wooden fermentation barrel stands in the right third, viewed slightly from above. Exaggerate its proportions: an enormously broad rounded belly, short height, small oval lid and narrow base. Build its brick-red silhouette with chunky, slightly uneven marker edges; two broad cream hoop bands and three sparse curved cream stave seams make the wood construction legible. A single deep-red cast shadow extends from its base diagonally toward the lower left, stretched into an absurdly long tapered point. Treat the shadow as a deliberate playful graphic distortion. Flat warm-cream ground and background, ample empty space across the upper left. Restrained marker texture, bold flat fills, no intricate grain or hatching. Clear at thumbnail size, one object and one shadow. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
