For my secong final image I chose to again, scan a graphic image from a book and then scan it into photoshop. I was really pleased with the fnal result. There were hardly any smudges on the scanned picture and it looks like this.

But I felt it was a little plain so I gathered some textures from the internet to use as the back groud of his skin. The textures I found were on a website called grunge textures.

Out of the peeling paint textures I found this example of paint on concrete. I liked it because it was a less vibrant paint than the others there, and though I know it isn't normal to have peeling paint as a skin texture, I didn't want the image to look too cartoony.

After layering the texture on top of my scanned image, I found that the texture shows up alot more on the line work of the image, rather than creating a skin type canvas. I chose to use the 'Lighter colour' layering mix and it brought out a flaky texture which looks really good.

This is now going to be one of y final images. I really like the texture of the paint in the line work, it adds a three dimensional element to a very flat sketch. If i could re-do this image I would probably create a series of images along the same line, as a set looks more coherent together.
