Creating some work on illustrator…

• I started to put some of the designs/sketches I had done onto illustrator - for the sake of the oncoming crit, but also to experiment and see how they would translate on screen. 
• I think the simple shapes that I have been creating using ink - and the two tones - has worked really well. 
• The only thing I think is that to me it looks a little too bland and lacks character. I want my work to feel illustrative and not representational. But my immediate response to this is to make things fun and playful - which is not the appropriate to the tone I want for this work… :/ I don't know what to do. I think I just need to draw some more… 
• Also I don't think there is much point of me doing more work on illustrator without knowing what I want to do and how the final postcards will look. So I need to go back to my sketchbook!
