Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, portrait 3:4. Side-on underwater reef landscape, not an overhead view. One towering pale-peach branching coral grows from a squat dark reef ledge at lower left, rising along the left two-thirds of the frame. Its wildly asymmetric silhouette has a thick short base, improbably long forked limbs, and oversized blunt tips; one limb reaches toward the open right side. Keep the branching structure bold and sparse, with broad water gaps between limbs. Layer three simple reef silhouettes across the bottom: dark indigo foreground forks overlapping shorter muted-blue background forks. Deep cobalt water fades gently to cool periwinkle above, with generous empty space in the upper right. Flat marker fills, slightly irregular hand-drawn edges, minimal broad stroke texture, no fine detailing. Playful, mysterious, legible at thumbnail size. No people, fish, text, logos or watermarks.
