Ohhh, this really got me for a bit. The chalk lines in the front (and on the sides) aren't chalk, but string or something like it - probably more solid. Maybe one of those 3d printer doodle pens? Anyway, nicely done!

Wonderful work. I'd love to see more "behind the scenes" shots, showing how you set everything up. Fascinating how odd angles in one perspective become three dimensional in another. And all with simple props and color schemes, too. 💙

I didn't like the drawing I did in the last pic, so I used a fog machine instead :P
