Hello!

This video is all about finding and using references. I will show you how I manage and work with them in my current workflow. I am using imagery I find on Pinterest and Social Media. I am not the owner of these resources, they belong to their respective authors.

Also, this is my personal way of working with references and doesn’t claim to be complete. That’s why I wont go too much into the definition of reference and if it’s good or bad (short: it isn’t bad at all).
I hope showing you my personal process and method is helpful!

Anyway, please let me know what you think and if you have any questions.
I really appreciate your feedback and input.
