Developing ideas on screen.

Once i started actually thinking through composition for the illustration as a whole i managed to come up with a logical solution to the problem i had earlier, though it took a good few attempts to get it right.

When i thought it through i realised i had been discounting that the kettle would still need to boil water. This was a major turning point in my composition experiments, i instead moved all the components down to the bottom of the kettle and kept the top clear. One issue i found, once i was happy with the layout, was that because the various drawings combined all look very different side by side, i would have to unify them all in some way. Therefore the next step would be to redraw the entire thing with the composition above intact, and also any changes to the design made.

Changes: 

1. add space for boiling water
2. remove certain imperfections
3. decide whether to shade everything or shade nothing to keep light consistencies.
