Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. Look steeply down from balcony height at one ivy runner spilling from a planting bed over a low concrete curb in a Toronto neighbourhood park. The slender stem makes a lively loose loop, carrying five comically oversized, asymmetric, recognisably lobed ivy leaves; one broad leaf hangs over the curb onto the paving. Arrange the vine diagonally across the lower-left and middle of the frame, leaving generous warm-cream paving empty at upper right. Dark olive soil, squat lavender-grey curb, emerald and lime leaves. A concentrated patch of warm sunlight highlights the ivy, with one simple soft-edged shadow. Broad felt-tip strokes, slightly wobbly dark contours, flat colour fills and restrained marker overlap. Show the climbing habit naturally, without diagrams or explanatory elements. No intricate veins or hatching. One scene, no people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
