Working women

Two final versions (oh the pleasures of finishing things digitally - several versions can be had in minutes!), think I prefer the one with some of the clothes coloured. I also feel the light blue works much better than the dark. For anyone who’s interested I did a line drawing, then painted the background colours seperately, I then scanned both and superimposed the line drawing over the background. The clothing is collage and just required scanning again and then adding the linework - which took about two minutes by the time I’d done it three times. I have no intention of working entirely digitally but it does open up a whole range of effects I either can’t get, or are really time consuming when done by hand.

I’m sorry these images are so small - I had a spot of trouble re-sizing as I didn’t realise simply converting a photoshop document to a jpg would reduce the file size considerably…
