The Oversized Loop

Finished hand-drawn pastel editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. One everyday slip-on sandal viewed from a high three-quarter angle, lying diagonally from lower left toward upper middle. Exaggerate its squat, broad coral sole, bulbous asymmetric toe and one enormous turquoise strap arching over the footbed; keep its construction unmistakably wearable. Thick aubergine pastel contours, broad colour fills and restrained chalk grain, with the confident simplicity of a chunky marker sketch. Show the strap opening and a narrow strip of sole thickness using only a few strokes. Two large pale buttery patches suggest sunlight filtered through water, without depicting droplets or another scene. A small muted lavender contact shadow grounds the sandal. Warm cream background with generous empty space at upper right. Legible at thumbnail size, minimal detail, no intricate hatching. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
