The outcomes

I decided to use my previous sketch of the little girl with the cat and produce another illustration that works with it. Putting the one with the older girl first to emphasise 'distorting time' even more. If in the first image there is an older girl and in the second a younger one, I thought that if one where to try and look at them as sequential art the aging process would be reversed. Therefore distorted. Once I had finished sketching the pieces I decided to keep them as sketches and scan them in. Then, using Photoshop, I edited the images as a personal challenge and to try something new.

Once I had scanned my final sketches in I decided to use Photoshop to play around with them. Instead of doing what I usually do and using watercolour.

I experimented with a lot of different possibilities.

In the end I decided on quite simple effects. I used the clone stamp to neaten up the images, then experimented with the colours and effects.

I liked the bluey/greeny tones for this image. I lightened the areas I wanted to be lit up by moonlight and got rid of the sun. The original idea was to have a sun and moon at the same time (distorting time) but I felt that it looked better with just the moon.
