Finished editorial hand-drawn marker illustration, vertical 9:16. One casting moment in a spacious imagined foundry: an exaggerated pear-shaped charcoal ladle hangs tilted from a simple support entering at the upper-left edge. A thin, continuous orange ribbon of molten metal descends into a circular cavity in one comically broad, squat ochre sand mold at lower right. The glowing stream is the focal point. Show only the mold's top and thick outer walls, not a cutaway. A pale blue-gray floor and one faint tall wall recess establish the workshop; leave generous ivory breathing room on the right and above. Fog-softened ambient light, subdued shadows, a small warm glow around the receiving cavity. Broad felt-tip fills, irregular confident outlines, slight marker overlap, simple asymmetric silhouettes, strong thumbnail readability. No intricate hatching, sparks, extra machinery or people. Not a diagram or educational explainer. No text, logos or watermarks.
