Nuthatches’Durham, Come Save Me’ sketchbook
‘I’ve had a nuthatch in the gardenThere was that badger at tennis
I’ve had a rat on the feeders
Next door saw a hummingbird hawk moth just the other week
It’s incredible when you think’
‘Animals, Animals, Animals, Animals, Animals’
Durham, Come Save Me
Faithful Johannes
Out 3rd July
This month, in the lead up to the ‘Durham, Come Save Me’ album launch, I’ll be sharing some of the ideas and sketches that led to the final design of the album artwork.
Most of these are me just getting ideas out of my head and onto the page, so expect extremely loose, quick drawings that haven’t been polished very much, if at all.
Today’s sketch is inspired by the song ‘Animals, Animals, Animals, Animals, Animals’
With these nuthatches (and yesterday’s moth), I used watered down ink in a few watercolour brush pens to get the different tonal values.
