Square finished editorial illustration. In the right third, one newly planted sapling has an extravagantly oversized, uneven violet crown, a slender curved charcoal trunk and a round root ball partly exposed in a fresh oval planting hole. A single short shovel leans beside the hole. Sand-coloured loose soil forms a simple rim. Two tiny, widely spaced house silhouettes at upper left establish the neighbourhood and contrast with the enormous foreground tree. Generous empty chalk-white space across the left half. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours combined with broad, opaque oil-paint-like colour strokes; flat shapes, sparse visible brush edges, no dimensional modelling. Chalk, sand, charcoal and violet palette. Uniform source-free illumination, no cast shadows. Caring, playful, instantly legible at thumbnail size. No people, cream or beige background, teal-and-terracotta palette, gradients, 3D shading, collage, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
