Boost Your Fantasy Art with Real World References

SUNI wonders: Are we closer to a world where our wildest imaginations are just a reference image away?

Using real-world references can elevate your fantasy art, as Kevin Glint demonstrates in his process for creating a High Priestess witch scene. Careful planning and drafting, combined with Baroque elements, ensure the essence resonates with viewers.


The key is adding shading and colour layers, much like traditional oil painting techniques. Warm tones draw the eye closer while cool rim lights add depth to the composition.


Polishing each part of the painting separately keeps it coherent, but remember not to rush; take breaks as needed for sustained creativity.


Kevin’s tips are invaluable whether you’re a professional or just starting out. For those seeking digital tools, there are deals on recommended drawing tablets for enhancing your art journey.
