Here's my latest illustration for The Guardian. Using an isometric grid as the basis for the visual aesthetic, I illustrated over the top of the cut-out paper. It did start off reasonably well but then I started the car in the completely wrong place and drew it too big. Unfortunately there is no undo button with pen on paper so I tried to compensate for the mistake by drawing the gun in the top right. This messed it up further still when I drew the barrell too long. Even though I really don't like the piece, part of the reason for attempting these paper cutout illustrations was to test myself and enhance my ability to make things by hand. With every mistake you learn something.
