In this post you can see an ink illustration 'Dorian's Keys' that I created for Chapter Forty Three of @dougkarr's amazing novel Dwelling, a crime novel set in New York’s Lower East Side.

Arriving home, Dorian placed his keys on the kitchen table and looked up to find his apartment suddenly seemed a dilapidated shanty.

Creating the drawing using black drawing inks and a set of keys. It's time to get messy!

Splat, splash, splat!

The fixtures and furniture all looked worn and encrusted with dust. He'd always considered himself at odds with his lifer neighbors, the creepy old shut-ins who still occupied hundreds of these Lower East Side tenements like a checkerboard of atrophied castoffs. But the more he thought about it, the more he'd progressed toward one of these urban hermits.

Here, more than the result, the difference is in the procedure and technique you used to make the keys. I find it very creative and interesting. The keys have that dark and mysterious touch of the story. As always, great, @opheliafu.

It is also a very messy way of creating art - but fun too!

now thats been creative with what you got . great artwork

Thank you, it's fun to use a mix of techniques to create these illustrations.
