Common rough woodlouse in bright colours. I think I'm influenced by their Garden Lobsters nickname, so I'm going for cooked lobster pink. You'd certainly notice them in the garden more often if they were this colour. All this with view to making a large composition with a background. Prefer the left and right.
Out of all the ones I've done lately, and I've done a lot, I prefer the misaligned ones. They really mess with the eyes in an interesting way.
2026 update
Thought I’d add a pic of recently revisited woody drypoint prints on handmade paper from an old planning sketch for clay sculptures. Interesting to see how much has changed. Less colourful, I think they have a darker kind of stillness to them.
