Circus Characters and Details

I have now completed my characters for Lost at the Circus and am happy with the way they have turned out. I decided to continue cutting out my collage figures in the same way as I have for the circus setting so that they look like they belong in the scene. These are a few that I have finished:

My circus strong man but without his weights. I was unsure hope I would make the features on the face out of collage and thought about doing them separately in ink and putting them together digitally but in the end I stuck with collage and found type/shapes in my books which could be used as his features. 

Some multi-coloured bunting which I will use in each scene for decoration. These have also been made in collage and I have tried to change the colours for each and add in patterned paper in each.

This is the human pyramid of my circus characters which will feature in my last double page spread i will be making for the preview. I haven't yet added their faces but have made sure that each member is in a different costume. This page will feature lots of colour and pattern which is what you want in a circus and in a children's book.
