Small House, Big Roof
An elongated, narrow house with an oversized asymmetric roof, drawn in graphite beneath a broad dark storm cloud.
Small 427×640, Medium 800×1200
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One comically tall, pencil-thin house stands left of centre, viewed slightly from below, beneath an absurdly wide pitched roof that tilts unevenly and overhangs the walls. One small door and two plain windows keep it unmistakably a home. Bold, loose graphite contours with the confident simplicity of marker drawing; broad rubbed pencil shading, no intricate hatching. A short section of the right wall outline breaks into spaced graphite dots, not a surrounding frame. One broad dark storm-cloud sweep behind the roof contrasts with the pale, softly lit facade. Warm off-white paper, charcoal-grey roof, light-grey walls, a short soft ground shadow. Strong asymmetric silhouette, minimal detail, generous breathing room on the right and below. No people, boats, decorative props, text, logos or watermarks.
