First port of call was drawing in all the patterns using pencil. It was suggested to use bristol board paper and this made a huge difference - far less smudging. The hair pattern underneath the chin caused me a few problems as this was a large area to fill with patterns. Took me a while but i sorted it eventually by using the flow of the hair to divide the pattern up.
I was a little afraid here the pattern on the glasses would look 'fly like' with the squares but i ended up being really pleased with the look. A success!
First major error was the hat. i tried too heavily to get the same look as Nikki with this pattern but tried a different colour that didn't work - it looks like Kat is wearing the earth on her head!
The pattern for the hair took ages but I think it was well worth it. i also like the blend of red colours here - works well with the glasses imo!
Hard to tell from this image but the hair is made up of two different shades of red. Very pleased with the pattern and colour chose here. :)
Well, it's done but i'll be honest i'm quite disappointed with the results. the patterns are fine imo, but the colours just don't work together - i went absolutely over the top with my new pens!
The background also isn't very affective and I feel it's lost the 'warping' effect as it's hidden behind Kats head.
I will be carrying this image over into hazzels lesson for use as my front cover as i'll be able to better balance the colours and get rid of a ton of parts i dislike.
