Finished editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical. Oblique overhead view of one woodland footpath: a small dark fallen log blocks its straight course, while a comically oversized cream bypass sweeps far to the right and rejoins beyond it. Make the looping route the unmistakable focal shape, not a map or diagram. Sparse, oversized wildflower heads fringe the outside bend; surrounding woodland is suggested by broad moss-green ground shapes rather than individual trees. Hand-drawn marker fills combined with a wood-engraving look: chunky near-black carved contours, blunt edges and just a few broad white gouge marks, no intricate hatching. Warm cream, moss green, charcoal and muted coral, with a handful of golden sunlight flecks. Asymmetric arrangement, generous quiet space in the upper left, flat readable shapes and playful proportions. No people, no arrows, no text, no logos or watermarks.
