Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, portrait 3:4, risograph-inspired two-colour print with broad marker fills and slightly irregular contours. One rust-orange squirrel climbs headfirst down a dark teal tree trunk cropped along the left edge. Side view: comically broad hind feet grip the trunk above its compact angular torso; small forepaws touch the bark below, and its pointed nose faces downward. A short bushy tail hooks upward behind its rump. Recognizable squirrel ears, one simple dark eye, no detailed fur. The squirrel projects into the upper-left portion of the warm ivory background, leaving generous open space below and right. Flat overlapping ink shapes, slight registration offset, very light paper grain. Only two short strokes suggest bark; no foliage or extra props. Playful proportions, clear silhouette at thumbnail size. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
