Collage illustrations

Was looking back at my early 2022 art yesterday, and in stories I showed off some of my painted paper collage, and they really inspired me to experiment with a more collage like style in digital art as well!! This was made using Photoshop and just my mouse (no drawing stylus or anything like that) and I basically just used the polygonal lasso tool to make the shapes and then did clipping masks with different textures I've scanned through the years! I really love how it turned out…

So I’ve become completely in love with a new technique, and that technique is papercut collage. I paint sheets of paper with acrylic or watercolour paint (a few times I’ve even used old paintings that I don’t like) and then cut those into the shapes I need and collage it together. IT’S SO MUCH FUN.
