Carl’s house (from the movie Up)

Remember the movie “Up”? Carl is compelled to leave (in) his house when it is squeezed too tight between skyscrapers.

I used alcohol-ink brushmarkers and promarkers for colouring and a light grey Stabilo Point 88 for the thin lines:
Colours applied: black for the asphalt at the bottom, shades of warm grey for the two tall skyscrapers, green for the tiny lawn, grey-blue for the roof and window of the little house, reddish-brown for the chimney.

The watercolor effect in the sky was achieved by using a light blue promarker in one hand and the blender in the other. Then I did the same for the grey buildings in the distance. I used a black 0.1 mm Uni-Ball pin pen for the black lines, and a white Posca pen for the white ones:
Sky and background buildings added and coloured, shadows added, details added in white. I handwrote a title at the top, signed and dated at the bottom.
