Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. High overhead three-quarter view into a small fence-enclosed community garden. Across the lower-left foreground, one comically broad, squat wooden cold frame contains six chunky leafy plants. Its enormous pale-blue transparent hinged lid tilts upward, lifted by one simple support arm; plants remain visible beneath it. Two unusually long, narrow raised beds sit farther back beside a shared sandy path, establishing the communal garden. Keep the lifted lid and broad bed the clear focal point. Loose dark-green marker contours, broad uneven colour fills, minimal detail, warm cream paper. Terracotta wood, moss-green leaves, peach evening light and soft lavender shadows. Asymmetric arrangement with generous quiet space at upper right. Simple believable construction, no intricate mechanisms, no hatching, no diagram elements or arrows. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
