The Extra-Wide Container Crane
A charcoal-and-marker illustration of an exaggerated quayside crane above squat coral and teal container stacks, with open cream sky.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. A container terminal occupies the right two-thirds: one comically broad quayside gantry crane with short sturdy legs and an elongated asymmetric boom arches above two squat stacks of shipping containers. View from slightly above quay level; a narrow teal strip of harbour water runs along the bottom. Rough black charcoal contours, smudged charcoal shadows and broad coral and teal marker-colour fills on warm cream paper. Keep charcoal visibly dominant in the linework. Containers are simple chunky rectangles with only two or three vertical marks; crane structure reduced to bold, legible beams, one hanging cable and a simple spreader. A few pale distant container shapes suggest depth without detail. Playful toy-like proportions, energetic strokes, no intricate hatching. Generous empty cream sky and breathing room on the left. One coherent port scene, no people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
