18/05/2021: Final artwork for Nature explorers book.

 Below is all of the final artwork for my children's book 'Nature Explorers'. The book separates different habitats as the viewer delves into the wild life that is associated with each location. The book features a combination of digital and traditional collage - the entire image making process has been fully documented on my blog.

 Below is the rough for my mushroom spread as part of the woodland habitat section of the book. I was excited to create the artwork for this spread as mushrooms are my favourite things to draw.

I used slightly darker muted tones for this spread as I wanted it to feel a little autumnal as that's when it is mushroom season. Below is the amended version of the piece where I decided to remove the reddish mushroom at the back and darken parts of the mushrooms on the bottom right to make them standout more.

I like the texture and the colours and think it is visually exciting
