The cooking pot

In this post you can see the illustration 'Stew' that I created for Chapter Thirty Two of @dougkarr's amazing novel Dwelling.

Ndusen stoked a small fire in the otherwise dark courtyard. Kondwani, Alile, and Dziko sat nearby chopping vegetables, freshly harvested from the now bountiful garden. Stella poured water from a hose into a large metal pot. Picking up the pot, Stella made her way towards the fire, but tripped, spilling water on the concrete between the buckets of earth.

Creating an illustration for Dwelling

I used a combination of masking fluid and wax to keep areas of the image white in this drawing, this was to represent the flames and heat of the fire.

Layers of ink and water washes were added to the picture to give the impression of the smoke of the fire and darkness of the night.

A dip pen and drawing ink was used to draw in some of the finer details, such as the wood on the fire.

"Oh, hi," she said, surprised by the tiny visitor.

"We are cooking in the courtyard, if you would like to join us." Chisulo said smiling at her warmly.

In the courtyard, the enormous pot of stew on the open fire was starting to boil over. Alile and Dziko watched in horror as Stella and Kondwani moved in a slow hostile arc, ready to rip each other’s limbs.
