Photo texturing sketch demo

Photo texturing sketch demo for my senior students at SJSU. I wanted to show how to start with simple silhouettes and develop them through “playing around” with photographs, creating happy accidents in a very quick work flow. I also wanted to illustrate how to simplify a complex design into something much more cartoony for a 2D style show. The biggest challenge of teaching at a University is every student has different artistic goals, I try to accommodate them all. Sometimes when designing you get stuck or revert back to doing things the same way over and over again. It’s nice to have different techniques or approaches when struggling with designing something new.
