You could just use some HTML in your Markdown:
<img src="drawing.jpg" alt="drawing" width="200"/>
Or via style
attribute (not supported by GitHub)
<img src="drawing.jpg" alt="drawing" style="width:200px;"/>
Or you could use a custom CSS file as described in this answer on Markdown and image alignment

CSS in another file:
img[alt=drawing] { width: 200px; }
