As Lisa Chin says, ...Thanks for the great tutorial. As Lisa Chin says, we all can learn to sketch and draw, but this method does help us get started. The more you do this process, the more you will find yourself adding little details and eventually sketching most of it. Starting with a photo does help with proportions a lot.<br /><br />I do this process on my iPad, using apps that turn a photo into a sketch or a painting. (Moku Hanga/Waterlogue/Pencil Sketch). These are all available in the App Store. You can trace these and remove unwanted lines or you can put them in your graphics program and make alterations. I use Graphic Converter - a shareware program. If you use all your own photos you don't have to worry about copyrights, and working with photographs is also an art form!<br /><br />Thanks again! I like this process a lot!Mary Ritterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707881623986621335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-72695566425767750512012-09-04T12:30:23.837-04:002012-09-04T12:30:23.837-04:00thanks for sharing this great tutorial !!

This tutorial is quite helpful. Lisa Chin commented that it takes 10,000 hours to develop a skill.... that gives me hope.... I must be getting quite a few hours stocked up towards that total.

Today I set up a 'still life' with bananas... photographed it and then did a bit of trying out in Paint Shop Pro before printing it off and cutting out the bananas to use as a template to cut the ones for the piece.<br />I am pretty good at freehand cutting for things that just need a suggested shape, but if I don't want people wondering if it is a banana or ?what? I do like you do to get the shape right.<br />Sandy in the UK<br />PS I am really enjoying the motivation of this link party thing!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-190230450953781442012-08-31T17:03:37.557-04:002012-08-31T17:03:37.557-04:00Thanks so much for providing this wonderful way to...Thanks so much for providing this wonderful way to share WIPs.

I think everyone starts sketchbook challenged but if they just keep drawing and drawing and get someone to give them pointers they get better and better. After all, it takes 10,000 hours to get good at anything. It's just a matter of IF you WANT to get good at that thing. haha It looks like you have found a wonderful solution until you make the time to spend those 10,000 hours in your sketchbook. ;)Lisa Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678111345177959698noreply@blogger.com
