grayscale

I tried converting my illustrations into grayscale:

I don't think they work that well, you can't really see whats going on. This would look more effective if the illustrations were much simpler, more like my sketchbook ones - they would look more caveman-like. But I was focusing my layout on that of the Folio Society's which do hardback books with full colour illustrations, so I might just stick to that. I am considering lessening my illustrations from 9 to 4/5 as they aren't the main part of the project, it I about how I apply them and I don't think I have enough time to do that many.
