4 refined scamps

4 refined scamps. I used watercolour, pencil and biro

Analysis of scamps, from top left to bottom right:

1. I incorporated flowers and feathers to help emphasise the nature theme running throughout my story. This is my favourite design because I love the mask and the shape of her profile. The colours I chose were simple tones, yet the bold red lips help the image to 'pop out' of the page.

2. For this design, I still wanted to have her look of calmness, yet I wanted the image to be of her whole face. This is because it gives a better idea of what the character looks/is like. Again, on this scamp I have placed both the story name and my name at the bottom of the drawing. This was done because it isn't ruining or taking over the image, and you can fully see the picture without having anything in the way of the whole image.

3. This scamp that I have created is my least favourite. I dislike the drawing of her face, particularly the lips; however, I was experimenting with refining the scamp before, hence why her eyes are open here. I have again included feathers and flowers, because of the nature theme and also because she has wings. I have not drawn these on any of my designs though, because I feel that it might somewhat ruin the look of the drawing. The writing here is placed at the top and bottom of the image because it would otherwise be in the way of the image.

4. I really like this design. Again, here I have gone for a design of her face with a full-frontal view. It is closer up here, and I have therefore picked brighter shades to help the image stand out: blues, greens, red and fuchsias. These shades help the tones of grey to 'bring the image alive' because the contrast of the colours are what make the image so eye-catching. Both the story title and my name are at the bottom of the image to emphasise the image itself.
