The Long Reach

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 5:3. On the right two-thirds, one adult with a broad pear-shaped torso, short sturdy legs and comically long arms reaches diagonally upward to change an oversized round light bulb. Both feet remain flat on the floor; one simple mitten-like hand grips the bulb as its screw base enters a downward-facing ceiling socket. The fixture is unlit. Minimal face shown in profile, head tilted toward the task. Neon-green shirt, violet trousers, pale green bulb, warm ivory background. Combine expressive hand-drawn marker fills with carved-relief construction: thick gouged-looking violet contours, broad negative-space cuts and a single offset shadow band, no intricate hatching. Slightly uneven ink edges, large flat shapes, clear silhouette readable at thumbnail size. A short ceiling line establishes the home interior; leave the left third mostly empty. One scene, no extra props. No text, logos or watermarks.
