The Long Side Kick

Finished hand-drawn marker silhouette illustration, 4:5 portrait. One martial artist in contemporary unbranded training clothes holds a side kick: broad squat torso low on the left, tiny profile head, short planted leg, and one absurdly elongated leg extending diagonally toward the upper right. Keep the heel and tucked guard fists unmistakable, with simple mitten-like hands and no facial detail. The pose must read instantly at thumbnail size. Mostly solid cobalt silhouette, a small negative-space notch defining the belt, and two crisp silver-grey edge strokes suggesting hard reflected light. Broad felt-tip strokes with lightly irregular edges; no intricate hatching, gradients or realistic metallic effects. Warm-white background, generous empty space above the left shoulder, one short grounding stroke beneath the planted foot. Playful anatomy but a controlled, quiet practice moment. No other people, props, text, logos or watermarks.
