My latest video focuses on a few techniques I employ when drawing popular characters, using a combination of photos and reference illustration to map the character onto a different pose. To demonstrate the process, I selected an image of Dr. Doom, drawn by Jack Kirby, and an unrelated photo of a cloaked figure, facing a different direction.

Refbox has been a game-changer for my digital art workflow. In my latest video, I go over some of my favorite features. Refbox works on both Mac and Windows, and retails for $29US. A trial is available. One week after using Refbox, I find it to be absolutely indispensable.
Prior to Refbox, I would have to bring references into the digital canvas directly. Doing so would limit my full view of my canvas, and I would have to employ a series of workarounds. The feeling can best be described as trying to move items around while stuck inside a crowded closet.
Refbox lets me float references above my canvas. But it does so much more: With it, I can flip images horizontally, zoom in on a section of the reference, sample colors from the reference and so much more.
Refbox supports images, GIFs, videos, 3D models, audio, notes, links and even PDFs. I can’t find any downside to using it.
