Finished hand-drawn charcoal editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. One fictional adult solo singer seated in a wheelchair occupies the left half, shown in three-quarter side view facing right. Exaggerated long torso, small head, one oversized loose sleeve and compact lap create a distinctive asymmetric silhouette. Head tilted slightly upward, mouth open mid-note; minimal facial marks, one simple hand resting on the lap. Clearly recognizable wheelchair with a large circular rear wheel and small front caster. A slender microphone stand gently curves toward the singer like a growing stem, with an ordinary microphone at its tip; no leaves or flowers. Broad black charcoal contours, a few solid charcoal masses and soft rubbed grey accents on warm ivory paper with one faint crease. Simple floor shadow, otherwise empty background and generous breathing room on the right. Playful, expressive, legible at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, other people, medical equipment, text, logos or watermarks.
