Mixed Media Drawings

To try and gain some inspiration I decided to do some mixed media drawings, I used my edited images to draw from. I have included the images that I was looking for both drawings,

I really like the textures in this drawing as I have layered it quite a bit, it has two bottom layers of ink and paint which I covered with a piece of black organza, a top layer of gouache and small areas of brown paper.

For this image I used inks and watercolour paints, I like the washed out effect that it has but I feel that I could have done the detail a lot better.

I don't feel like this really helped at all and my project seems to have come to a stand still? I think I may try to go back to the idea of dissecting my images only this time selecting more areas to cut out.
