Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 9:16 portrait. One pet rat in side profile steps onto a low wooden produce crate beside a plain warm-cream exterior wall. Place the rat in the lower-left third, facing right: comically broad pear-shaped charcoal body, oversized round ears, pointed muzzle, one tiny eye and a long curling pink tail. One forepaw rests on the crate edge. Low golden side light casts a single elongated rust-brown rat shadow diagonally up the wall, creating a deliberate double-silhouette composition: compact animal below, stretched echo above. Keep both silhouettes immediately legible. Crate drawn with three broad ochre slats, no contents or markings. Loose felt-tip edges, flat colour fills, slight marker streaks, no intricate shading. Generous clear space at upper right. One scene, no people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
