One sheet of cream paper and a red-blue pencil: real numbers drawn mark by mark while you watch. Dots land one after another, bars are traced one by one, axes grow with the story and rescale with ratchet clicks, and a ceiling tears when the data breaks through. Blue notes for people and memories, red for records and warnings, and a camera that dives, follows the pencil and pulls back over the page. Colour only ever means value; a serif headline and mono ticks. Drawn entirely in code, in English or Chinese, landscape or portrait.
Use this styleGive the real data to tell (years and values, or a few categories and values) and its source, and name one or two points to stress (the first, a record, a turning point). Only the numbers you give are drawn, never invented or extrapolated; keep handwritten notes short (a year and a value, or a few words). No images needed.
The headline is set on an empty chart, then the pencil traces one bar per planet: Mercury's 88 days, Venus, Earth circled as "ours", Mars. Jupiter breaks the axis, which rescales with ratchet clicks, Saturn and Uranus push it again, and Neptune's dark bar closes on a red note: 59,800 days, about 164 of our years.
