Moose Standing Its Ground

Finished hand-drawn charcoal editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. One moose occupies the right two-thirds, seen in a slightly three-quarter side view facing left. Exaggerated silhouette: small barrel-shaped torso, four improbably long slender legs, a heavy drooping muzzle lifted slightly, and enormous palmate antlers with a few broad lobes, one noticeably wider than the other. Hooves planted comfortably apart; calm, self-assured posture. Keep the animal unmistakably a moose and legible at thumbnail size. Chunky charcoal contours, broad side-of-stick fills, sparse rubbed gray shading, warm ivory paper. Use the loose, decisive gesture of a simple marker sketch while retaining unmistakable charcoal texture. One short charcoal ground stroke beneath the hooves; otherwise an empty background, generous breathing room on the left, clear margins around the antlers. Minimal facial marks, no intricate hatching, no scenery or props. No text, logos or watermarks.
