Another advantage to working digitally in that I can still explore ideas and work in poor light. I should have organised all of this in the winter months, but it's still useful even now when the days are drawing out and lengthening with the promise of spring approaching; the evenings are still dark, and my work room is still very cold.
I can't decide whether or not this was a spooky experience, tracing my Dad's handiwork from many years ago. I noticed lots of things I hadn't seen before, such as some of the lines are broken at regular intervals with a little dash. I don't know why this is, perhaps they indicate the grid on which the curves of the yacht keel are drawn. I traced his numbering system, and how the years rolled back to see his familiar handwriting, but weirdly drawn by me. I even made myself signature initials in the same style which look nicely unselfconscious and fit well with the plan drawing. I worked digitally in layers which provided the excitement of being able to see architectural drawing in relation to my other drawings - interesting to see the one above using Dad's architectural templates he used in his plans, together with an actual plan drawing.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
