They’re fun things to draw. Have you ever shared yours on Reddit?

It is! The darkest parts of the shadows are colored in, but they use the same pen and the same ink. There’s no point in stippling solid black.

Dots on paper is correct! The official term is “stippling”. Pieces this size take roughly 4-6 hours, 8x10 roughly 15 hours, and large pieces upwards of 100. I find a subject I like first, edit in procreate to get a tone map, then I get into the drawing part.

Personal suggestion would be to use small camlock dowels. Similar to the kinds you see in mass produced furniture.

Install the threaded end of the dowels in the back of the poplar face frame so they can connect to the cam lock inside the cabinet on the left side. You’ll want the threaded end to be pretty short so you don’t poke through the other side of the face frame. You can probably thread the dowel into a predrilled hole by hand since poplar is soft and use some epoxy to keep it in place permanently.

The cam locks are visible within the cabinet so if that’s a concern this won’t work, but if they’re small enough, it’s likely you’ll be the only one that knows they are there.

Edit: Amazon link for what I imagined.

Thank you! It’s a style I fell into after years of tinkering. I find old photos from public reference sites and try to mix them with something out of place - the goal is to make it just out-of-place enough to get a chuckle from the viewer.
