About the video: Collection of reference images

Overview

“In this lesson we will surf the internet for inspiration. For this we will visit fashion websites, photographers, social networks like Instagram, pages like Pinterest or Design Seeds, etc. We will choose a color reference to create our own palette. This part is one of the most important in our graphic work, so we must choose it well. We will take into account what we want to transmit to choose some colors or others.

In this video lesson Elena Garnu addresses the topic: Collection of reference images, which is part of the Domestika online course: Illustrated Portraits with Procreate. Learn how to create and compose a portrait adding elements, textures, and expressiveness starting from a photo.
