I began this design by sketching in pencil an initial design. I liked the image of the full car, not just the window screen, so took this further.
Because my quilling feature one main block colour, I thought the car would look good for this, but I wasn't sure I like it. I felt there needed to be a grey for the bumper and inside.
I looked back at a piece of work I did where I layered up different shades of blue to create waves, I tried it with this. The dark colours would indicate it is night time, and the main image of the car and characters looks almost silhouetted. I then added the colour of the seat as described, but this red was to bright, I needed darker red to go with the blues and grey.
I wanted to see what my image would look like if the characters were a different colour, but I felt like the grey worked better, as the white looks too overpowering.
I played around with colour a bit, adding yellow headlights and making the car navy. the car now blends too much with the blue already there, so I will use grey. I also think there is too much colour now with yellow headlights. I also added stars, these looked nice on my Lighthouse piece of work and think they could work for this as well.
I now have two final pieces for one of the illustration, and I will present for feedback.
This piece will be a combination of layered paper and quilling. the stars will be cut out, and the car and characters will be quillied.
An alternative, is to stick with my minimalistic style, and simply quill in black paper and have one main feature colour, created on a white background.
