Reference Images - Week 2 (Patreon)

Hi Everyone! 🤗

Week 2 already! Thank you all for voting in last week's poll! Most of you voted for a mix of all the countries, so we will go with that! I added two pictures of Italy this time because I thought it would be a good color variation 😊.

Feel free to approach the images like you want to! You can choose whatever color combination you’d like, and which parts of the references you want to draw, there are no rules! That’s the fun of illustration, you can choose what you want to draw and how you want to approach it, the images are just references 😊

This week's references, I also took on my trips over the last 2 years:

Beautiful house - Lake Como, Italy

Waterfall - Iceland

Bassetto Guesthouse - Tuscany, Italy

Mountain - Switzerland

Tree - Mono Lake, West America

The waterfall I saw on the most amazing hike I've ever done, started at Skogafoss. It was a 26km hike, and we saw so many waterfalls during this hike! Including this one. The Bassetto guesthouse was an amazing hostel, we stayed for a whole week in the middle of Tuscany! It was such a beautiful and serene place. We really felt the Italian lifestyle. 🥰

I think I will use many of the light olive (126) Tombow brush pen with these references for all the greenery, together with the light green (133). For the Italian houses, I think I will use the pale cherry (912).

If you want to start, but don't know how and what materials to use. You can visit the first blog post about all my favorite go-to materials.

Sharing your work ❤️

If you'd like to, you can show your work in our 'Reference Illustrations’ chat to inspire others, get feedback, or just get some motivation to keep drawing✨

If you post your work on Instagram stories, make sure to tag my account, so I can see and repost!

You can also use our hashtag #creativeflowingtogether so everyone else can see your work too! 🤗

I hope you will have a lot of fun with these images, please let me know if you have some questions on how to approach a reference!

I wish you all a lovely start to this week! 🌸

Love, Celyn
