Painting from imagination on easy mode 🎨 It doesn’t have to mean creating an entire fantasy world from scratch. Sometimes, it just means adding something to your portrait that wasn’t in the original reference. For this cap, I: 1. Broke it down into a sphere and a cylinder. 2. Rotated those simple forms to match the perspective of the head. 3. Studied how the original portrait was lit. 4. Applied that same lighting to the cap. It may not be the most beautiful cap I’ve ever painted 😂 But it matches the perspective and lighting of the original portrait. And it’s a simple way to start moving beyond your references. I’d love to create an entire series about painting from imagination on easy mode. I just want to make sure it’s interesting to you. Should I make the series? Let me know in the comments 👇

Your art needs hue variations! Whatever you're creating right now will look so much better with a little hue variation! How much? That's totally up to your style (but I'm team "more is more" 😄) #drawingtips #artreels #digitaldrawings #stylizedart #artvideos

I wonder if anyone else feels the same way…
