The Big Step Aboard
A broad commuter lifts an oversized shoe onto a bus step, illustrated with loose navy marker contours and textured ivory fills.
Small 640×427, Medium 1200×800
Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Side view of one broad, pear-shaped adult commuter boarding a bus, caught with one oversized shoe planted on the entrance step and the trailing foot still on the pavement. Tiny head, minimal profile, short rounded coat, simple mitten-like hands resting beside the body. The tall open bus doorway occupies the right third; crop the vehicle beyond the right edge, retaining a small wheel arc and a plain window to identify it. Keep the passenger's silhouette clearly separated from the doorway. Warm ivory ground, navy vehicle and loose navy contours, ivory clothing with a few broad navy shadow strokes. Textured digital painting with expressive hand-drawn marker edges and sparse dry-brush flecks. Flat, simple shapes, playful proportions, ample empty space at left. No other passengers, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
