The Long Way Along the Water
A broad apricot promenade curves beside cobalt water, bordered by an exaggerated plum railing and a narrow lime verge.

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, portrait 3:4. An empty urban waterfront promenade viewed obliquely from above, its comically broad apricot path entering at the lower left and curling toward the upper right. One oversized plum railing follows the water's edge in three tall, asymmetric loops; cobalt water occupies the right side, with two broad reflection strokes. A narrow lime verge borders the landward side, and two tiny blocklike rooftops establish the distant city. Loose graphite contours and broad, softly rubbed graphite shadows remain clearly visible beneath translucent marker-colour fills. Exaggerated proportions, simple confident silhouettes, warm apricot reflected light, fresh open horizon. Leave generous pale paper breathing room at upper left. Visible paper grain, no intricate hatching, no tiny architectural detail. One continuous scene, not a diagram or icon sheet. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
