Hello Beautiful Bluebells!

I thought I'd finish May with a new lesson video, and this one is all about drawing from photo references (thank you everyone who voted in the poll at the start of the month)!

I'll show you how to take a photo reference, simplify it down to its basics, and then build your own illustration from that.

I've done three sets of examples:

drawing an animal

drawing human poses

drawing buildings/landscapes

All of the photos I used are from Unsplash.

I hope you enjoy this video! You can find the other videos in these playlists:

Drawing Session Videos

Enjoy! ♥

Mimi, I have a question: do you normally trace the images when you are doing a sketch or just have them side by side with your canvas? Very helpful video especially for drawing bodies🙏🏻😚

Hi Rosa, it depends on how complex it is, but usually I would have the image to the side and draw it separately. In the beginning I would have been more likely to draw on top though, I think it can be a bit easier 😊

Thanks for the answer, Mimi🙏🏻😚
