Pen-and-pencil diagram plate
A real chart drawn as an old hand-coloured plate: fine warm-black pen over light coloured pencil on cream paper, the chart's boxes and bands turned into objects from a small invented world, every word lettered by hand.

Looks that sit near it
- Survey mapContour lines, spot heights and hachured cliffs on old paper, with cloud shadows passing over. A tiny surveyor crosses it and a peak rises into a dress.
- Medical textbook platesEngraved anatomy plates in an open book on green baize: a heart with a pump valve, the doctor with his stethoscope, a daisy in a specimen jar.
- Navy ink, pencil shadowsOne heavy navy line, flat grainy fills that sit a little off the line, and cast shadows hatched in blue-violet coloured pencil on plain cream paper.
- Blueprint schematicPale linework on navy: maps, dials and brackets that draw themselves in, with magenta for whatever changes. It cuts in against the paper scenes on the beat.
