further development of favourite initial styles -fine liner and collage paper.

here i have experimented with using paper to represent a check pattern of a shirt, a technique i used in my last project :

experiment from my last project 

i don't think this idea works well on a small scale, i think it makes the clothing less recognisable and realistic. it also makes the illustration as a whole look out of place and the 2 medias don't work together as well.

i then developed on the idea of cut paper using more blocky chunks. i think this style is more effective as it gives a more defined and recognisable shape of clothing. i also think the combination of bold colour against the monochrome face makes the 2 elements (clothing and figures) stand out from each other, providing focal points.
