although i think both of these pieces above are great, i think lucinda's work is most successful and recognisable when she uses a coloured background as this allows her to create focal points using either the white of the paper or added white/lighter colours.
something i am struggling with at them moment with creating a portrait piece but added illustrations to illustrate the persons life is making sure the portrait is still the focus without the added object over complicating the portrait (like below)
i have done a similar technique in past projects:-
 |
| COP 2 - showing this mans journey in and out of homelessness in his clothes. though i am happy with this pieces, i feel the several illustrations in the t-shirt takes away from the appreciation and detail of the actual person (portrait). |

| about i have played around with using background colours and taking away colour to draw attention to certain areas... this definitely doesn't work! well digital colour doesn't anyways. |
