For the scales i first drew out a grid then shaped the scales to fit in a staggered pattern all over the page. Usings a measuring stick or ruler, some maths and a compass
 |
| A page where i was trying to work out how to best do the scales and worked out using a compass was best, botto left corner Using my pen and the dots method i built up this section |
 |
| Once i had worked out this way of creating scales i made this little section and the scanned it in to photoshop |
 |
| Using that one section i pasted it a few times and created this background. I am very happy with how its turned out. By using the copy and paste the little tile method meant i got it done so much more quicker then if i had attempted to do the whole sheet in one drawing. |
ON the frogspawn background I tried to do a similar method but insead of just doing little section of the image I thought I would attempt to just draw the whole thing really small. This was a good and bad decision the good as i am probably most happy with this background out of the few i did, the bad just because its a small drawing does not mean its going to be quick to complete. This little drawing took me ages to complete.

| This is a 10x10cm square and i used my finest pen 0.05 |
I scanned it in at the highest 600 dpi setting hoping this would help hold some of the detail. Then i stretched it into the size i needed a worked around the A2 size. I am vert happy with this as it does look like a section of a load of frogspawn and on its own i have considered using it for one of the illustration but time is now against me so i am just going to stick to the plan.
Working with feathers worked out to be a lot harder then first thought. Gettin g them to make a patten on a background without it becoming too overpowering for the illustration in found is difficult. I had fun tho working out how to get it to work and in the end working out how i was going to make it work best.
