I initially started by painting the mother earth character and found that although I liked the feeling of her, I wasn't convinced she would work without modification.
I felt as though i was getting lost with what i was trying to create. I felt i wasn't achieving my aim and after some peer support and a tutorial, i felt much more confident in myself and how i would continue with my work.
I decided to cut the image up and to start layering it with other elements. I carried out some experimental work using different papers, pencils, ink, and paint. Then I began to make up shapes to layer on mother earth.
I found that the layering added extra depth to the image and gave me the depth of field I was trying to achieve. By adding different coloured and texture looking papers I found this added another dimension.
