The Pond Turns Green
A hand-drawn marker illustration of a broad lime-green algal bloom curling across teal water beside a thin clay-coloured bank.
Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Finished editorial marker illustration, square 1:1. Look straight down onto a small pond where one enormous floating algal bloom forms a swollen, asymmetric comma across the lower left and middle. Its broad head almost touches a thin curved clay-coloured shoreline along the left edge; its tapering tail curls inward. Show algae as a flat lime-green surface mat with irregular scalloped edges, three broad dark-water openings and a few olive marker patches, not leaves or flowers. Exaggerate the bloom's width against the tiny bank. Deep teal open water fills the upper-right third, giving generous breathing room. Loose dark-green hand-drawn contours, broad overlapping felt-tip fills, subtle paper texture, simple flat colours and no intricate hatching. Playful, speculative environmental scene, not a scientific diagram. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
