The Sleepy Shore

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 5:4. A single personified lake shoreline seen from a close oblique overhead viewpoint: a broad olive-green grassy bank enters from the right, its comically oversized rounded promontory curling left into still slate-blue water like a long nose. Two tiny dark sleepy eyes and one short mouth mark sit directly on the bank; no human body or separate character. A thick sand-coloured strip clearly defines the water's edge. Construct the silhouette with large, deliberate stair-stepped pixels, softened by broad hand-drawn marker fills and slightly uneven marker outlines. Simple asymmetric proportions, restrained flat colours, minimal texture. Cool blue-hour atmosphere with a faint fading amber wash across the grass. The bank continues beyond the right edge; leave the left third mostly empty water. No buildings, boats, people, intricate hatching or decorative props. No text, logos or watermarks.
