Day 3:Â Drawing Alice from Reference
Today, learn how to use photographic references to inspire and develop your very own Alice character.
Welcome to Day 3 of the Watercolour Wonder Mini-Course. In this lesson, you’ll get a sneak peek into one of the lessons from the full four-week Watercolour Wonder course. This session lays the groundwork for tomorrow’s final artwork, and all you’ll need is a pencil and paper.
This lesson serves as your starting point—feel free to follow my lead or venture off in your own direction to illustrate your unique interpretation of Alice.
Join me as I break down photographic references of two Victorian-era girls, using one as inspiration to develop our own variations of Alice.
