Colours, textures and paint (POINT 2)

I know that I want to put a lot of hand drawn and painted elements into my project. I want to do this because I am more comfortable creating my own patterns than generating them digitally. I feel as if I have more control over what I am doing.

Textures don't have to just be left for back grounds, however. I would like to experiment with collage effects because when I create individual textures, it is sometimes difficult to see how they could work and interact.
