ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
Create a collage of a musician using only texture and value.
How was the illustration used: sketchbook, website
How did you make this work: I usually don't work in collage, but have been interested in exploring it more so that I can incorporate it into my work process. I decided to start making quick daily collages in order to loosen up before beginning my daily work routine. This was meant to get myself into a frame of mind of thinking in terms of shape and simplicity of form.
