Section 2: Final Intention
  • You have been creating various figures drawings that will fit into your landscape.
  • You will now be experimenting with various compositional sketches of how you will layer your final product.
  • Scan in your drawing and play with 6 different effects for example see how you could add collage/ ink wash layers to the drawing.  If scan your drawing at a low res, you can add the filters on pixlr.com
