Drawing for Dwelling -Phone Call

Brrrrrrring, brrrrrrring... hello?

Today, I'm showing you the process of how I created 'Phone Call', an illustration for Chapter Seventeen of Doug Karr's fantastic novel Dwelling.

He would have been bored senseless if it wasn't for a tall woman sporting such a distinctive wash of bling and boobs, that he didn't quite know where to rest his eyes. She had the etched plastic receiver of an old pay phone pressed to her burnt sienna lips.

The process of creating 'Phone Call'

Before I started the drawing of the woman I prepared the paper with a series of marks using the black drawing ink. Once the ink had dried I sketched out the image of the woman and phone in pencil.

The outlines of the woman and details were added using a dip pen and drawing ink. Then layers of ink and water were added with a brush to create areas of tone.

The way she said the word pow was so violent, Dorian realized for the first time that he was staring. He averted his eyes, but it wasn't more than a second before he was creeping back up her camel colored UGGs to her ruffled tights again, resting for a moment where the metal phone chord brushed the chasm between her Rubenesque rack. He damned himself for not bringing along a sketchpad. He was getting good and stiff.

Dorian wasn't sure as he blinked in disbelief what surprised him more; the sight of someone talking into the relic of a pay phone in this age of techno-fetish, or the incriminating scraps of bile the crazed girl was spewing mid-precinct into the oversized receiver.
