The following scans show the development of the project - enjoy!?!

staines kitchen roll here, and roughly sketched image over with twig in ink, kitchen roll used as it has texture and it's a part of everyday life.
Another try at getting my character illustrated in a way that is sympathetic to his circumstances. I've again drawn him roughly with a twig dipped in ink, the covered him with layers of tissue paper, over a textured pad made of crumpled tissue paper layered together with water and pva mix to get a thick base.
I like the way the ink bleeds through the tissue paper here, and that the tissue 'muffles' the underlying image
