Wide Water, Small Islands
A tall editorial landscape with exaggerated delta channels, squat ochre sandbars and a smoky peach sky, drawn with bold wood-engraving shapes and marker edges.
Small 360×640, Medium 675×1200
Finished editorial illustration, vertical 9:16. View a river delta from a low oblique angle just above the water, looking toward its sea-facing horizon. Oversized dark-teal waterways sweep across the close foreground and divide around a few tiny, squat ochre sediment islands; the nearest channel runs out through both lower edges. Strong foreshortening, asymmetric arrangement, no long upstream river stem. A broad peach sky occupies the upper third, with a soft sunset glow diffused through smoky atmospheric haze. Render in a simplified wood-engraving look: chunky relief-print silhouettes, irregular hand-drawn marker edges, and only a few broad cream cuts indicating banks and water. Long peach reflection strokes curve along the channels, with two angular glints. Flat limited colour, warm paper ground, playful exaggerated scale, legible at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, diagrams, people, text, logos or watermarks.
