3 you don’t have to waste time
drawing those perspective grids
In the past, I’ve spent long periods of time painstakingly
drawing my own perspective grids, and wow were they
terrible. It wasn’t only a horrible waste of productivity, but
also a demotivating experience! It was a very magical day
when I discovered the existence of perspective guide brushes.
I downloaded a free set and never looked back!
i quickly created this perspective
guide with a perspective brush
4 Go bold, Go abstract
I often have to deliver references for other
departments that are on a tight schedule.
I’m requested to provide designs and
concepts that cater to the needs of the
production and time is never on my side.
In these situations it’s important that
you can make your work look abstract.
Apply this approach to your painting
style, the shapes and colours. Reduce the
detail overall and focus on the concept
and vision that you want to communicate.
Custom brushes can help here, because
they enable you to create abstract art
with interesting strokes and textures.
