I painted these insect silhouettes in both Photoshop and Alchemy, I found Alchemy was a much better way to quickly create interesting silhouette designs. This is only true, however, from a top down perspective.
I arranged my silhouettes on one Photoshop document so I could select the most interesting design and develop it further.
I first discovered the use of silhouette designs in the book "The Skillful Huntsman", which shows how they can be used to create quick and interesting designs without intricate details.
