FROM REFERENCE TO ILLUSTRATION

You will learn how to take a Reference Photo and turn it into an Illustration
In this video, I take you through my whole process of painting an illustration based on a reference photo. I find that working from a reference and making a stylized cartoon out of it is one of my favorite ways of studying real life (color, composition, anatomy, expression...) and at the same time add a bit of creativity to it, so I end up with an illustration instead of just a boring study.
Enjoy the video!
