Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical, combining expressive broad marker strokes with flat screen-print-inspired ink layers. One perched owl sits right of centre on a tall plain wooden post beside a canal towpath. Give it an absurdly wide violet head, uneven ear tufts, two large cream eyes, a tiny sapphire pear-shaped body and tightly folded wings. Its whole body tilts eagerly forward, feet gripping the post; no flying pose. Keep the owl immediately legible at thumbnail size. A single pale towpath curve and narrow sapphire water ribbon establish the setting below, without buildings or boats. Warm ivory paper background, generous empty upper-left space. Bold imperfect contours, slight ink misregistration, sparse marker texture, only a few large colour shapes. Flat colour, no intricate feather detail or hatching. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
