Finished editorial illustration, landscape 5:4. A handmade desktop-fan prototype sits left of centre on a single ochre workbench edge, viewed at a slight three-quarter angle. Its enormous, slightly lopsided coral cardboard housing dwarfs a squat dark-blue wooden stand. Inside the open circular housing, three broad cream blades have simple curved edges suggesting rotation. One tiny white tissue strip taped to the right rim streams outward in the airflow: the unmistakable first test. Two broad tape patches convey rough prototype construction. Combine bold linocut-inspired silhouettes and a few chunky carved negative-space marks with expressive hand-drawn marker contours and flat colour fills. Pale cream reflected accents beneath the housing, warm ivory background, generous empty space to the right. Legible at thumbnail size, deliberately simple, no intricate hatching, no diagrams or arrows. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
