Inspired by coral

16/7/2014

Wrinkly and ridged drawings in my notebook, still looking at that lump of coral and wondering how to get such an organic feel into a drawing without losing the crisp line of the Rotring. For me it works best when a line follows a line and a small natural change occurs; then that change is picked up by the next and all subsequent lines, so a form is generated almost by itself from the accumulation.

I work a LOT in sketchbooks and always have several on the go. My dad was an architect and naval draughtsman, and after he died in 2017 I found heaps of old templates while clearing out his study. Always having been an avid collector of shapes, at the beginning of this year I bought a WHSmith A5 diary to use as a sketchbook specifically for work based on them.

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!)
