Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Side view of one cream-and-terracotta puppy climbing two low, broad wooden stair treads. Its enormous front paws rest on the upper tread while tiny hind paws remain below; a squat belly, short muzzle and two comically long, unequal floppy ears create a distinctive silhouette. Place the puppy left of centre, facing right, with generous empty warm-ivory space ahead. Combine expressive broad marker fills and slightly irregular dark-brown contours with carved-relief construction: chunky raised-looking shapes, narrow offset shadow edges and only a few clean cream groove marks. No intricate hatching. A restrained pale-blue edge on the forward-facing forms suggests cool interior spill light. Simple dot eye, determined forward lean, clear separation of paws and steps. Flat limited palette, minimal paper texture, legible at thumbnail size. One scene, no people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
