Collage an Illustration - TUTORIAL (+ Steve!)

G'day Friends! Today's tutorial was a culmination of random thoughts and I am so glad it worked out the way I thought it might... I have struggled to try and make "interesting" or "quirky" illustrations... I noticed that when I collage, the results are inevitably more whimsical and fantastical... so... I couldn't help but wonder (Carrie Bradshaw style, at a window with my old Macbook) couldn't I just collage first THEN DRAW MY COLLAGE? Turns out, yes, of course, but even better; I can PHOTOCOPY IT AND TRACE IT! hahaha Hope you enjoy the video and get to creating some crazy creatures yourself! If those likes get past 500 I will make Steve hold up his end of the bargain!
