Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical, inspired by bold patterned fabric. One hawk in three-quarter side view stands on a short, simple ochre branch low in the frame. Exaggerated silhouette: enormous tilted head, tiny torso, one broad folded wing and an improbably long tapered tail. A hooked charcoal beak, pale cheek patch, single intent eye and two simple gripping feet keep the hawk unmistakable. Across the rust-coloured wing, five cream scallop shapes grow progressively larger from shoulder to wing tip, like a playful textile print. Broad uneven marker contours, flat rust, ochre and charcoal fills, slight marker streaks, no intricate feather detail or hatching. Place the bird left of centre; let its tail descend diagonally toward the lower right. Warm cream ground with generous open space above and to the right. Curious, alert posture. No text, logos or watermarks.
