Working out style for rougher images

Over the last week I have been working on the image for pages 2 and 3, the main scene will again be used for pages 30 and 31 and possibly for my poster for the exhibition. As the image has multiple uses and contains a great deal of information I felt it was worth while taking some time on the image itself. My idea began with creating a composition through a collage of images which is shown below.


The next step was for me to draw a version of this image, however I chose to work with only four colours to try and improve my understanding of tonal work. This is something I seem to have issues with and is something that has became apparent through this project. After finishing the drawing I would scan in the image, then I go over the image with a brush and change it to a more watercolour type of image. These two images are then combined, further experimentation will be required to see what gets me the best results. The drawing, painting and a few versions of the combined images are shown below.
