This is my hand drawn scanned in showing the top half of my illustrator.

 This drawn shows a sketch outlining the image of my illustration.



This drawn has been sketched and copied from Mats Gustafson illustration, the tops and the outling of the skirt has been coloured in with black charcoal.  





This drawn has been scanned in to photo shop and watercolour added to the illustrators skirt and top using a tool brush to colour and the polygonal lasso tool to out line each section.

This drawn has been scanned in and water colour added to the skin of the illustration giving a yellow/beige effect. Charcoal has also been used to colour in the skirt (outlining of skirt) and the top smudging gently with my finger.

This is my final drawn for Mats Gustafson illustration I have used water colours to fulfil the top and skirt which both are coloured black and using the smudge tool and blending grey and black together in order to give a messy look. The motion blur tool was also used turning the angle 90 degrees and again the polygonal lasso tool to keep it in line.
