Finished editorial illustration, ultra-wide 3:1. In the left third, one fictional field worker kneels in profile on a bare patch within a meadow, gently pressing earth around one newly planted native grass plug. Give the worker a broad squat torso, exaggerated long arms, short bent legs, a minimal face and simple mitten-shaped hands. The oversized grass tuft fans upward as the focal point. Low rolling ground extends into generous empty space at right. Above, one slate-grey cloud bank recedes to reveal a broad cream opening. Expressive marker contours and restrained sage, ochre and slate fills, with clearly visible broad soft graphite shading on textured ivory paper; no intricate hatching. Haze-softened warmth, simple silhouettes, legible at thumbnail size. One scene, no extra people, no diagrams, no text, no logos or watermarks.
