Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, square 1:1. An oblique aerial view of one branching river crossing a minimally suggested floodplain. Its comically broad main bend sweeps from the lower left toward the right, then gently peels upward into the air like a weightless ribbon; three short, rounded tributaries remain connected to it. Keep the water recognizably river-like through irregular banks and a few broad current strokes, not a tree or road. A soft shadow beneath the lifted bend makes the single surreal gesture clear. Loose, confident graphite contours, broad smudged silver-grey shading, dark bank accents and warm paper-white ground. Use the simplicity and chunky gestures of a marker sketch, but visibly rendered in pencil. Oversized asymmetric silhouette, legible at thumbnail size, open breathing room at upper left. No intricate hatching, map symbols, arrows, people, buildings, text, logos or watermarks.
