Tiivistelmä
This thesis shows various methods on how one can use reference when creating a digital painting. The aim of the thesis is to provide a package of useful information and a toolkit for people interested in digital painting as well as for people working in the field.
I also try out some of the methods I have found during this thesis process by making three digital paintings, sharing and analyzing the experience, thoughts and feelings that doing it evokes.
Based on my personal history with art, I can say that I have used reference in some of my works, and quite often when working with clients. But I have always been a bit lazy in that aspect - using reference, requires more preparing than just starting to paint straight on. Learning new things on a personal level and as an artist is another reason why I chose this topic, so I had to force myself to use reference and find out how it affects my workflow and the final outcome.
