 I really enjoyed working with this image and I really like the pencil drawing in on the first page. I was inspired by 'Weird Girl' from Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. I liked how shadow was used in this too and incorporated that into my own work. If I was going to make this even more like Burton's work, I would have made the face a lot sharper and shorter.
On the second page my work was inspired by Salgado's work, particularly the piece shown on the his first artist page in the bottom left corner. I liked how he seemed to be so spontaneous and just went crazy with the paint on that piece. It inspired me to go a little crazy and ended up painting over the majority of the face which I'd previously painted underneath. It took a while as I used a pallet knife and especially didn't want the paint to smudge on this piece so had to wait until each colour had dried before starting another incase they smudged too much. I do really like this piece though and thought the use of just 3-4 simple colours worked perfectly on a plain black background.
