Having an A3 sketchbook for this project really helped me expand my skills and made me realise I have been limiting myself working in A5, this piece was created at A2 and had to be scanned in in halves and then brought together in photoshop which was a personal first for me!
Working at A3/A2 really helped me think more about composition and it let me really push my collaging (which is something I've avoided in the past).
Out of them all this was probably the easiest to change the colours in photoshop, I already knew I loved the orange tiles the most when I was creating the piece and all was left was to change the centre so it was all blue (so it was more obvious that it was a swimming pool).
The only problem Ive really had with this one, was that when I was creating it I didn't want to cut out a person and collage them in so I decided to draw them in instead, so at the moment I'm trying to find the right pen tool to use and where best to place the character composition-wise.
Ive asked around for this one and most people think I should change the ladder to the top right and have the character on the bottom left and leave the pool alone so the details don't go unnoticed.
