Decided on the page size 11cm (w) x 16.5cm (h). Not much of a process here, just A5 seemed a little clunky, A6 was too small, so these dimensions where something sort of in the middle. I think smaller books are more personal (?) as well as easier to read and hold.
Did a few (very messy) test pages in quink, a completely painted approach. Was going to refine smaller details with white paint or pen. Not too happy with these, I think they're very flat looking and lack some kind of depth?
Revisiting a method I tried on some earlier tests, I made a bunch of ink waves and cut them out to do some collage. Spent a while arranging them so that the space was filled, and the shape of the waves sort of interlocked without being too uniform.
Here's a double page spread of the above, with a small paper boat. The result isn't bad, and I'd be interested to see how I can apply similar textures to the other scenes in the storyboard, without it being too jarring and inconsistent.
How could I continue this aesthetic with scenes that have no water in them? By using brush strokes? Watery ink textures? I'll keep on making pages and see if the others are successful.
