drawing by reference



Instagram is a great tool for my inspiration. When I scroll down my feed and see something interesting, I label it and take a screenshot. After I've made a drawing of it, I can tag and make hashtags as a reference. This way you can reach a lot more users.


This drawing is inspired by @cakemagazine. Their pictures are always very interesting. It's editorial, but with an arty twist.

Here's a little description of how I've made my drawing.


Drawing the base with charcoal.


Making darker accents with an ink pen.


Adding acrylic paint for a little more color.


Finished!
