The Wide Way Around
An elevated view of a broad crimson lakeside promenade curving beside mint water, with a low railing and warm afternoon shadows.

Finished editorial landscape illustration, 3:2 horizontal. Elevated oblique view of one lakeside promenade: an exaggeratedly broad crimson paved path enters from the lower-left edge and curls toward the upper right around a mint-green lake. A very low, squat railing follows the water's edge, with only a few widely spaced posts. The sweeping path is the dominant silhouette; open water provides generous breathing room. A thin distant shoreline and a small band of sky blue complete the setting. Warm late-afternoon light creates broad peach highlights and short muted burgundy shadows. Build the scene from deliberately coarse, visible pixel shapes, with sparse two-colour dither patches at shadow transitions. Preserve expressive hand-drawn marker character through irregular stepped contours and broad, slightly uneven colour fills. Simple, playful proportions, legible at thumbnail size; no intricate texture or hatching. No people, animals, text, logos or watermarks.
