Well, it's taken a lot of work...but... it's finally here!

GUIDELINE BASICS - THE MAGIC STAGE


It is probably the most important video in the series. If you want to break free from being a reference junkie - this is the video you need to view. It will help you progress to being a creative teller of stories.

Of course, when you're telling a story you use your own words, not someone else's. So, when you use someone else's photos and copy them, you're telling their story - not yours!

This video introduces you the middle MAGIC stage in your preparation. It's the stage most often skipped, yet it's here you inject your magic. Where the subject becomes your vision and not that of the photographer.

Learn how not to be controlled by your references - and how YOU control THEM.

Understand the pitfalls and problems of blindly copying a reference, such as incorporating camera distortion and awkwardly positioned elements that will directly affect your drawing.

Discover the great benefits gained by being in control of your reference sources. To take from them what you need, to discard anything of no use, and to modify anything that doesn't fit your requirements.

This is the final Basic Techniques video and it prepares you for the next stage in your artistic journey - to embrace Creative Techniques that will open up a whole new world for you.
