Making my final Vignettes

With my second Vignette I had a lot less trouble and obstacles to tackle. This was mainly due to the fact I had the anatomy of my imaginary fossil (inspired by an Ichthyosaur fossil) memorised with the style I wanted to draw it in. However, unlike my other vignette I wanted this one to only be using traditional media. My only problem was my prints which I decided I wanted to use were to faint to notice so if they looked too faint I might have to redo my final piece. In the drawing above some of the prints are hardly showing up. So, I had make sure the acrylic to water ratio was thin enough to not look harsh but thick enough to clearly show the fossils. This is also an obstacle I'll have to tackle in my final folded format design. 

Before scanning in, this is the final outcome, I think that this Vignette is definitely what I envisaged to look like. The colours look colourful while still having earthy tones, the fossil is prominent and clear. The rocky background is definitely my biggest positive I definitely will use this background for my folded format because of how interesting it look and the darker fossils really stand out on it. My only problem with this finished print is that some of the lighter fossils are hard to notice and look quite plain. I added in new fossils such as sea urchins and belemnites and I really think this turned out well. I experimented doing this my sketchbook and will be using these designs in my folded format too.
