You could sketch in grey then complete in coloured
pencil, charcoals or watercolours. Maybe rough
out a cartoon image in pencil, then draw over it in
bold blocks of felt-tipped colour. Or even sketch
then cut out ideas for parts of a photograph.
Move them around your planning page before you
decide, then glue your ‘guide to the perfect shot’.
