Concertina and collages


I wanted the concertina to be less plain, so I coloured in some backgrounds. I enjoyed making the concertina and forming characters out of sketches I did. In the front here is a character I made, a lizard person with a blanket around him, demanding some carrots. It doesn't make sense but it works visually!


The blue creepy one-eyed butterfly is actually a knitted and stuffed doll I saw attached onto the lamp post back in Hong Kong. It was such a weird object to see on the streets!

I think adding the blue scrap piece of paper in the background definitely brought out the "blueness" which gives contrast to the simple brown and red colours on the next page. 



I wanted to make the woman's hood look as fluffy as possible, but instead it looks slightly too glam. I drew several doll figures because I think one isn't enough to show how quirky they look, especially the left one which doesn't have elongated limbs.


This is my favourite drawing because shows how big and heavy his coat is, as if he's huddled in his coat in Brixton's cold weather.


I wish I could have done a more realistic portrayal of the red hat character, who I think is originally a man. The heads on the right remind me of Jean Julien's work. Different coloured hairstyles look like they convey different moods.


The diagonal lines I added give a nice contrast with the wiggly silhouette of the statue. I have attached legs for the guy on the right, who now looks like ... a cross naked man.

Collages

The process turned out to be quite enjoyable because it's really fun to reassemble characters from existing ones.


The left one later became the foundation of the "Illuminati priestess" character. I love how the macho man turned out to be 3-headed!
