Tide Around a Squat Rock
Broad turquoise tidal water curls around a low rust-colored boulder on peach sand, rendered as overlapping hand-drawn marker silhouettes.

Finished editorial marker illustration, ultra-wide 3:1. Close oblique view of one comically squat, broad rust-colored boulder on a flat coastal beach, positioned in the right third. The incoming tide extends from the left as one exaggeratedly long turquoise shape, curling smoothly around the boulder's base. A narrow plum-colored wet-sand crescent just ahead of the water makes its advance tangible. One loose ivory foam stroke follows the curling edge; no crashing wave. Build the scene from bold multicolor shadow silhouettes: turquoise water, cobalt overlap beneath the rock, peach sand, rust stone. Broad hand-drawn marker fills, slightly uneven contours, minimal texture, no intricate detail. Keep the rock unmistakable at thumbnail size and leave the upper-left sand spacious and quiet. One shoreline, one moment, no panels, arrows or diagram elements. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
