This tutorial by Sébastien Del Grosso on 500px Blog guides you through creating self-portrait sketches that blend photography with drawing for a unique artistic effect.
Using a Canon 7D and natural light, Sébastien captures his self-portraits, then prints them with a 90% white opacity layer. He sketches over these prints using a simple pencil, aiming for fast, nervous strokes to emulate construction. Post-processing in Photoshop involves meticulous layer work, selective corrections, and dodge & burn techniques to integrate sketches seamlessly with the photos.
The final result is a balanced composition that blurs the line between photography and drawing, offering a glimpse into Sébastien's creative process and future aspirations in art.
