cut out collage with a lion's mane

with the drawing of the lion I previously done, I use it and cut the mane's outline. From this I gained the experience of experimenting with different object of picture behind or under the cut out. Here are some examples of what I have gained out of this.

This is a cut out of the Lion's Mane

I find that the coins here works well to act as the mane of a lion. The shine sure does give off a cool effect.

I like the newspaper effect. It gives off a typographical illustration.
