Moby original layers before printing.

I used several different mediums to create the image instead of just using lino. I decided to colour the background based on patterns that I had roughed out in my sketchbook. I tested
out colour schemes and how the shapes could work if they were overlaid with each other. I quickly drew the shapes on two separate layers of Koda trace and then plan for them to be printed then separately overlaying each other.  I think that this part of the
image worked well as it felt to give the picture more flow and freedom rather than a blocky static image which most of my images tend to be.

In order to save time, I re used the background pattern that
I made for the Batsford prints to make the seaweed on the
outside of the box. This helped blend the two elements, the
background and the whale together. I hope this will also added this in for
more detail giving the image a successful aesthetic that
makes it interesting to look at makes the viewer have to look
to uncover the whole image.
