The Swollen River Bend
A turquoise river winds between ochre banks, widening into an oversized foreground curve with relief-like edges and loose marker texture.
Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Square editorial illustration of one winding river viewed obliquely from above, extending from a thin distant horizon at upper right into a comically enormous asymmetric bend that sweeps off the lower-left edge. Playful exaggerated proportions, instantly legible silhouette. Turquoise water, warm ochre banks, pale cream open ground. Carved-relief-inspired illustration translated into expressive hand-drawn marker art: thick irregular contours, broad flat colour fills, narrow dark edge bands suggesting recessed channels, a few blunt cream strokes like gouged highlights. No intricate hatching or realistic sculpture rendering. Distant water is smooth; three broad curved strokes suggest flowing current in the swollen foreground bend. One uninterrupted landscape, generous empty space at upper left, no extra objects. Slight marker overlap and imperfect edges, restrained three-colour palette. No people, animals, buildings, text, logos or watermarks.
