tips
- Consider how dramatically will you depart from the reference photo, is your artwork barely recognizable as Ken, or is it a more accurate portrayal?
- Are you transforming Ken into a character; is your artwork an illustration of Hamlet, with Ken as the reference for Hamlet?
- Is Ken an allegorical figure in your artwork?
- There is a huge range of facial expressions in our reference photos, what side of Ken’s personality will you show?
