Finished hand-drawn charcoal editorial illustration, landscape 5:2. On the right third, one fictional lanky hiker takes a careful uphill step along a low rocky ridge. Exaggerated silhouette: very long bent legs, enormous rounded hiking boots, short torso and tiny compact backpack. Side view, torso leaning forward, rear heel lifted, arms held simply for balance. Minimal face and mitten-like hands. The ridge enters along the bottom edge and rises gently toward the right; leave the left half mostly empty warm cream paper. Thick, irregular black charcoal contours, broad rubbed gray fills, sparse paper grain, no intricate hatching. Strong thumbnail-readable silhouette, playful proportions, only a few large shapes. Preserve charcoal texture rather than marker ink. One continuous scene, no extra people or decorative props. No text, logos or watermarks.
