D&AD: Shutterstock - Making the final pieces

I decided to digitally add colour to these pieces using the cintiq, I don't have a lot of experience using the cintiq's but it was really good for this as I could get everything more precise than with just a tablet! Exciting stuff!

I enjoyed adding texture and colour digitally as it is less permanent than making a print, if I messed it up or it looked bad I could always start again or undo the steps. 

I think the texture adds new depths to the pieces, it makes them more fun to look at and also softens the digitally added colour so it blends in with the traditional lino printed elements of the image.
