Drawing for Dwelling -Layers
A speeding train
I'm sharing with you the process of how I created 'Layers', an illustration for Chapter Twenty Two of Doug Karr's amazing novel Dwelling. This is the first of three drawings I have created for this chapter.

The process of creating the drawing
Areas of the paper were masked off to create the spaces inside the buildings and the different subterranean layers. Ink washes were applied to create subtle tones.
You can see on the tape where I have written the different layers, from street level to sewers, layers of dirt, pipes and the train tunnel.

His lip quivered. Then he heard the funeral director’s voice from the other room and knew his time was short.

Ooh. This way of working is very interesting. Good drawing.
This is so CRAZY COOL! The level of research,
detail and accuracy that went into this is fabulous. And such a thrilling result!
This is insane! I love it. Also, I'm a stop animation fanatic. So I can't help but appreciate the humor in your stop-animation instructions as part of the tutorial. Super awesome.
Nicely done, reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rear Window.’
Wow This type of art is the one that most calls my attention! Because you have to think about the creativity of what you are going to translate and other than materials used and how to do it, I loved your excellent work
