Finished editorial marker illustration, 16:9 landscape. An imaginary miniature train travels along two simple rails following the broad porcelain rim of a bathtub. Viewed obliquely from slightly above, its absurdly elongated amber locomotive stretches diagonally across the lower frame, with an oversized chimney, three large simplified wheels and one squat trailing carriage. The curved tub rim acts like a railway viaduct; a small faucet and a few widely spaced tile seams establish one bathroom. Keep the train the unmistakable focal point. Broad warm light catches its camera-facing flank; the far side and bathroom fall into brooding indigo shadow. Loose hand-drawn contours, chunky marker fills, slight stroke overlap, minimal detail, no intricate hatching. Leave generous quiet wall space above. Playful proportions, cinematic stillness. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
