Article Illustrations — Grav Hand-Drawn Style

Overview

Generate 16:9 landscape hand-drawn illustrations for articles, blog posts, and technical content. Each illustration captures one cognitive anchor point from an article and turns it into a clean, absurd, memorable whiteboard-sketch explanation.

The skill uses a recurring character IP called Grav: a small, round, always-floating figure with dot eyes and a thin antenna. Grav participates in the core action of every illustration — never just decoration.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when writing articles, blog posts, or documentation that need inline illustrations
• Use when you want to turn abstract concepts into concrete visual metaphors
• Use when you want a consistent visual language across multiple articles
• Use when you need hand-drawn explanation sketches, not PPT infographics

How It Works

Step 1: Digest the Article

Read the article and identify cognitive anchor points — core judgments, turning points, input/output loops, before/after contrasts, and common pitfalls. Don't distribute illustrations evenly; prioritize moments that benefit from visual explanation.

Step 2: Plan a Shot List

For each illustration, define:

• Placement: After which section
• Theme: What this image is about
