The Rolling Refuge: a wide black-and-white pen drawing of a semi-truck towing an open living-room trailer along a road, surrounded by walking figures and tall forest trees, with a large chimney and the title at right.

The Rolling Refuge started as a 2026 KCAI Illustration Pre-College ArtLab perspective assignment to build a home that looked lived in. Instead of drawing a normal house, I made a mobile shelter. My main goal was to practice isometric perspective. I paid close attention to the semi-truck cab so its mechanical forms would stay in perspective. I used a fineliner pen for most of the structure and marker for some of the shading.
