Wide Water, Heavy Sky
A wide marker illustration of a turquoise oxbow lake, ochre banks, a dark rounded storm cloud and a small piece of driftwood.
Small 640×256, Medium 1200×480
Finished editorial marker illustration, landscape 5:2. View from a slightly raised shoreline, not overhead: an isolated oxbow lake stretches across the lower half as an exaggeratedly long, shallow turquoise crescent, both blunt ends visible against a flat ochre floodplain. Its far curve recedes toward a low horizon; no connecting river. One small crooked piece of driftwood rests on the near bank at lower left, subordinate to the water. An oversized rounded ink-blue storm cloud hangs across the upper right, contrasting with the sunlit golden shore. Pale cream sky leaves generous breathing room at upper left. Broad marker fills, loose thick contours, slightly uneven edges, minimal paper texture. Still water rendered as one clean colour field. Playful asymmetric proportions, very few shapes, legible at thumbnail size. No people, buildings, intricate hatching, diagram annotations, text, logos or watermarks.
