Finishing Up Photoshop Week 3

I used a floral background texture from my sketchbook and placed it with my illustration. 

After playing with it a while, i decided i wanted her skin to keep the texture and the background to be something else as it felt too 'twee' to be left on its one as a final image. 

 These 2 images (blue on leaves and purple on leaves) were the finished products of playing around with the layers. I used colourise and hue on the blue one because it felt too loud when it had a green back ground with my notebook texture and drawing on top. The second image is using contrast colours of green and purple. My notebook texture is barely visible in this one, it just adds to the contrast in the purple bits. It looks highly digitalised and I'm not sure I like it but I think its really interesting to look at as many of the facial details have been taken away. I also like the two colours together, it made the drawing more edgy than it was before. 

 These 3 are all other finished designs, I really liked my red woman from last week, so I've chosen that as one of my finals. I decided to go back to the original untextured version of that to insert my notebook texture, I then proceeded to erase the texture from her skin so it was more block colour and so the texture just stuck to the background. I also touched up some of the colour (which is noticeable when you look at the original circle lady vs the notebook circle lady) and changed the opacity so its more gentle and pastel (which suits the flowers more I think).
