Two creatures I drew this week, based on icy shapes which had formed overnight on a picnic table back in January. I thought they were interesting and looked like lobsters, so I took some photos in the early morning darkness with the idea of making drawings from them, similar to the organisms in Before There Were Saturdays. They do tie in loosely with my recent boat/sea/navigation themes inspired by Neruda's boats poem. I drew them in Procreate on my iPad using separate layers; above are the 'shading' marks in one layer which evoke a ghostly and delicate image, with the outlines on a different layer. I am still at the stage of collecting and gathering for new work, but I also see another potential drawing in the photo of a dinosaur being pursued by a long-nosed witchy fox spirit. Incidentally, the photo in its weird winter light reminds me of scanning electron microscope images.

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). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
