Self initiated

 These images are part of a bigger illustration I recently completed. A kind of collage of images I put together for a gift for my younger sister, after all the 16th birthday is a special one and she means a lot to me.

Looking back at the final piece I should have linked each image to the next and been a little more playful and inventive with it in that respect, it is something I will keep in mind next time. These are my favourite examples.
