Hospital room

My new idea of how to have all my characters under one theme is to have them all in the hospital room as all but one were actually sourced from the one room. I had to just add the lines from the cat face to the wall like how I remember seeing it, even though I still don't remember where I saw it. As I know that I'm terrible at drawing anything that looks remotely accurate and I wanted the room to look accurate, I decided to make an image of the room to draw from. I started with all the photos I had taken while there which was few as I felt pretty uncomfortable taking photos of the room with people in. From these photos I managed to line them up and change the perspective on one of them to match the other. I then used one of the more focused photos to show a portion of the bed opposite that was covered in the original photo. I had nearly all my characters in the image by now but was still lacking the fan (which had been out of view in the photo) and the wires that made the cat face as it wasn't actually in the room and I didn't have a photo of it. As I wanted the reader to be able to find all the characters in the hospital room I found an image of the fan on on google images, after removing it's background I placed it onto a table in the room. For the cat face I took the lines from the drawing and separated them from the rest of the image, then I put it into a believable position and played with the perspective until it looked right. I've never made a composite image on Photoshop before and found it to be really useful to create a reference that didn't exist before. I then used a light box to get the all the lines right and changed whatever didn't really work in a drawing compared to a photo. When I took the pencil drawing and penned it I played with the details again to fully make sure it works. I also made a second image with the character's origins highlighted to ensure that the reader gets that all the characters came from that hospital room. I plan to use these two double page illustrations as endpages in the book.
