Artwork : Paper Cut-outs Series : #1 Chaos

An Idea of creating this came to me a few days ago when I was cutting out a peice of paper for an assignment I had , and while sticking it onto another , I thought why not create a whole new design , using shapes that look like paper cutouts , you know..like those that children come up with but of course a little more advanced and complicated and so after spending around 5 hours on photoshop , I was able to come up with design. I originally titled it 'pandemonium' but a friend told me that it was way too strong for the piece and I agreed with him and so the title 'chaos' was used. I am not sure why I came up with this look but I guess it all represents my feelings towards certain issues that were on my mind at the moment.

Here is the LINEWORK that shows you the details of the whole thing without colors :

I like the hand Balgis! It looks cute :p

I like how you place the steps for us here in your blog Nabhan. I dab at designing once in awhile and when I do I really begin to comprehend how difficult it actually is lol..
