Willow on a Sandy Tail
A playful marker illustration of an asymmetrical river island with an oversized willow and a pointed sandy extension, set left of centre in turquoise water.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished editorial storybook illustration, 16:9 landscape, expressive hand-drawn markers on warm ivory paper. From a gently elevated oblique viewpoint, show one squat river island left of centre, entirely surrounded by turquoise river water. Its broad moss-green head tapers into an absurdly long ochre sand tail pointing toward the lower right. One oversized willow leans over the broad end: a short bent trunk and a sweeping, lopsided canopy made from three large green shapes. Thin distant riverbanks along the upper corners establish the river setting. A few broad curved blue strokes suggest current flowing around the island. Uneven dark outlines, visible marker overlaps, flat colour fills, deliberately simple silhouettes. Generous uninterrupted water on the right, legible at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, people, text, logos or watermarks.
