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!

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