How to Draw Awesome Stylized Characters from Reference!

In this video, I’m going to take you through every single step and decision I make to draw an animated stylized character a reference photo! We're starting completely from scratch, and you get to see every mistake I make, and how I solve them.

Being a good artist is all about curating what you decide to show your viewer. Drawing from photographs can be overwhelming because they are filled with unnecessary details that can distract you. The goal is to filter these out and constantly remind yourself to draw something that looks good, and communicates exactly what you want.
