The Welcoming Eave

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, square 1:1, risograph-inspired with broad marker contours. One roadside cottage viewed obliquely from across a narrow curving road. Exaggerate its long, low butter-yellow walls and enormous asymmetric coral roof; one deep overhanging eave shelters a tiny recessed doorway. Two simple amber windows and a warm porch-light patch make the house feel welcoming. Place the cottage diagonally across the lower half, its near end larger, with generous open sky above. A small crescent moon establishes night, yet the sky is pale turquoise and the whole scene feels unexpectedly bright. Flat navy roadside verge, no surrounding buildings. Three or four ink colours, slightly misregistered edges, sparse coarse print grain, loose confident marker strokes. Clear silhouette readable at thumbnail size, no intricate hatching or tiny details. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
