This little apple was done as the demo piece for one of my @Skillshare classes last year. I worked from a photo that I had printed out in order to get the colors as close to reality as possible (the class was about creating realistic color). I remember when I was working on it how often I felt surprised at the difference between what a color looked like to me on first glance, and what it actually was when I compared it to the photo print. That’s the advantage to working from a physical photo as opposed to a screen. I always knew that working from a reference on a screen was tricky when it comes to color, (the lit screen throws off the values and saturation) but because of expediency and because I’m not always aiming for perfect realism, I still tended to use my iPad for displaying my photo references. But lately I’ve had a couple of assignments where perfect, realistic color was needed, so I’ve gone back to using printed photos and it makes such a difference in how quickly I’m able to achieve super realistic color. Now if only someone would make a printed photo where I could pinch to zoom, then I’d be set! (at Venture)https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wuQz7D8Eh/?igshid=1uov8au8ucpr2 -- source link
