Finished hand-drawn pastel editorial illustration, 6:5 landscape. In the lower-left portion, one tiny drought-stressed plant grows from parched ochre ground. Its comically short, bent stem carries two enormous limp olive-green leaves: one hangs almost to the soil, the other curls at its tip into a jaunty hook. Brown leaf edges suggest drying. A single broad angular crack runs beneath the plant, with only two short branching fissures. Low oblique viewpoint, strong asymmetrical silhouette, immediately legible at thumbnail size. Broad pastel colour fills, slight chalk softness, loose marker-like contour strokes; no intricate hatching. Muted ochre, olive, burnt orange and cream. Soft daylight with a small simple shadow. The upper-right half remains an empty, smooth cream-to-pale-apricot gradient with generous breathing room. One scene, no people, no diagrams, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
