Magazine or newspaper inside or spot illustration/s

How did you make this work:
I was commissioned by Graham Tuckwell AD of Financial Times to illustrate alongside a book review about 'This Other Eden' by Paul Harding. I illustrated a stormy sea and a family taking their clapboard homes 'piece by piece across waters and into history.' I used shape and scribbles to represent the destruction and fear. I drew the line in my sketchbook and added detail using Procreate.
