Final Pages

For the interior pages, I used a combination of illustrations and textures that are used as a visual aid for characters, objects and places. Like the dust jacket, I have used chromatic blue and browns to in-keep with the limited hue theme. I used images from my contact sheet to get the proportions of faces and objects, and then styled the facial features and objects adding the blues and browns in layers of watercolour.

I used layers of graphite and watercolour to create a soft outline and light texture, as well as layering to create shadows. This is shown on the illustration of Jack's mother, as the hair uses highlights and layering to create a shadow on the hair. Creating alternating layers of watercolour also gave the illustrations a range of light and dark shades of the hues. This worked especially well on the illustration of the government officials, as the alternating shading on the suits created a more interesting range of colour combination. 

For the textures I wanted to create watercolour cloud textures, and overlay plane illustrations to foreshadow ideas about the story. I used tissue to remove layers of watercolour to reveal the white paper background, creating distant cloud textures. I also overlaid paper onto watercolour to create other textures around the corners of pages.
