Again, Just like the stamps, these are the raw scan files after collaging these using cut paper.
To make these, I basically used the exact same method I did for the stamps - using the clone stamp tool to smooth out any imperfect textures, correct any dodgily cut shapes and then the brush tool to sharpen any details and to add the odd highlight every now and then to keep it consistent.
Final Postcards
Again, just like the stamps I really feel that scanning and adding the digital enhancements to the collaged pieces really adds to their overall quality as illustrations and it feels really nice to start having fully fledged finished pieces on my hands as opposed to sort-of alright kinda botched finished pieces. I'm starting to recognise the importance of synthesising digital and analogue media, and also the importance of refining images digitally to make them suitable for use as illustration (which feels really nice to say!)
