Collaborative: John Lewis: Making My Polaroid

After picking my colour theme and my products I decided to make a visual collage just so I could size things up before illustrating them. By doing this it let me get the angles and colours just right and let me think about where the mannequins would go best in the scene. 

I found that this process really worked for me because without having the collage there I didn't really have much of a reference for the objects. Rather than illustrate all of it I left some things (such as the book case and curtains) in their original collage form just so it added a bit of realism for the viewer. The dog was a last minute addition but I'm not really sure if it works as well in the scene as the two main characters do.
