WIP and Further Changes

So on Thursday we had our last Work In Progress session with Jonny. However, only three of us turned up, but it was kind of nice as it was more like a tutorial.

He seemed pleased with everything I had done so far. However, his and Pete's feedback were very different to each other.

So the last few days I've been tweaking my work just a little bit more as deadline is getting really close now! I'll be heading into uni tomorrow to show Jonny the changes I've made, and I'm aiming to get these printed now in the next few days!

Here's the images I've made changes to:

This is the main image that I've made quite a noticeable change to. I've been worried for ages about it as I couldn't work out why it didn't look quite right, but now that I've taken away some of the sea colour and added more text to it I think it looks a lot better.

The text I added at the bottom was to say what other animals are also affected by the plastic around the Atoll. It also helps explain why I have illustrated these other animals in some of my other silhouettes.

Jonny said that this one looked a bit too "cute". I've made the sky darker (which I may still change again as now it's looking a little too flat) and added in an outline of the bird, as it originally didn't look like it belonged to the same set of images. 

Also, a lot of people have been saying the for the previous silhouette the bird's head and body were not in proportion with each other and I have kept insisting that I have drawn it accurately, so here's the proof. I layered the original image I drew from underneath my silhouette and faded the opacity. However, as a silhouette the shape of the bird still doesn't look quite right so I shall edit this at some point. 

Here is a completely new image I have created. I had already created the silhouette but earlier decided not to use it. But after discussing with Jonny, I decided to include it again as I didn't have a silhouette of a flying albatross. I also wanted this to accompany the plane silhouette to symbolise bird strike as another threat to the birds. 

Only tweaked this image slightly by taking away the fumes. I feel this image looks a lot better now.

Jonny thought that this image wasn't quite dark enough; it looked too pleasant for the story I was trying to tell. So I scanned in some tin foil too make it look a bit darker and I like the textured effect that this has given to the image.
