Save referenceDesired Outcome
If you draw, the hard part is making a portrait look like the real person. The photo beside the drawing lets you check the likeness in a second, and it's very close. You want to learn how it's done.
'With a photo reference' tells learners they can work from a picture, not a live sitter, and 'old man's portrait' promises a face full of lines and texture.
The colour photo and grey drawing side by side make an instant before and after, and no text is needed because the comparison explains itself.
When your tutorial works from a reference, put the reference and your finished piece side by side at the same size. Pick a subject with plenty of texture, so the skill shows even in a small image.
Put the reference beside the result and let the likeness sell it.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
