Earth on the Sill
A broad, asymmetrical earth brick with simple terracotta and ochre bands sits on a window sill in a wide pastel illustration.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished hand-drawn pastel editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. Viewed through an open window, one exaggeratedly broad, squat compressed-earth building brick rests on the sill, right of centre. Its large frontal face has three broad irregular bands of terracotta, ochre and clay pink; one upper shoulder slopes slightly, with softly crumbled corners. Show just a narrow top surface and short side face for believable solidity. Thick waxy pastel contours have the confident simplicity of chunky marker drawing; broad colour fills, sparse paper grain, no intricate hatching. A pale icy-blue spill grazes one edge, contrasting with the warm earth. Suggest the window with only a cropped vertical jamb and one horizontal sill. Plain cream background, ample empty space on the left, quiet soft shadow, no scenery or props. Playful proportions but a hushed, grounded presentation, legible at thumbnail size. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
