Pond Drifter
A broad lime-green euglena floats nose-down beside a dark pond leaf, surrounded by pale blue water and sparse marker dots.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. One comically squat, pear-shaped euglena floats nose-down in the left third, its asymmetric lime-green body broad at the top and pinched toward the lower tip. A small rust-red eyespot sits near that tip; one short, thin hooked flagellum extends ahead into the water. Two broad darker-green strokes suggest richness inside the body without anatomical detail. A cropped submerged pond leaf sweeps along the bottom edge as one simple deep-teal curve, clearly separate from the euglena. Pale aqua water fills the remaining frame, with generous uninterrupted space on the right and just two sparse clusters of blue marker dots suggesting sediment. Wobbly charcoal-green outlines, broad translucent marker fills, slight overlap streaks, warm paper texture. Playful proportions, clear thumbnail silhouette, no anthropomorphic face. An imaginative pond scene, not a scientific diagram. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
