Cod in the Current
A yellow, oversized-headed cod curves past a blue kelp blade in a tall hand-drawn marker illustration.
Small 360×640, Medium 675×1200
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 9:16 portrait. One bright yellow cod swims diagonally upward toward the upper right through a flat blue underwater field. Playfully exaggerated silhouette: enormous blunt head, tiny dark eye, short chin barbel, three simple rounded dorsal fins, and a slender body curling into a small tail. A single dark-blue kelp blade rises from the lower left, bends with the current, and overlaps a small portion of the fish's belly; keep the head completely unobstructed. Two broad darker-blue shadow bands cross the yellow body. Level side view, clear swimming action, sweeping curves and generous open blue space above and left. Thick slightly irregular marker contours, broad flat fills, restrained felt-tip streaks, minimal detail. A wordless narrative moment, not a diagram or educational explainer. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
