Design tools practice
Working with various design tools that are often used in the industry
Illustrator, Procreate
Illustrating, Sketching
Consistently creating using these tools allows me to stay familiar with these tools. If I were to need them in a project now I'd be able to quickly create something of high quality.
When starting these projects I usually look for a reference photo or some sort of inspiration. Doing this makes it easier to learn different proportions, colours and the use of lights and shadows. Below you can see some examples.
The result is an image which resembles the recreated image but in my own style.
