- Hey everyone!
I'm trying to get back to my Wednesday upload schedule after the whole broken laptop screen debacle. So, today I'm showing you how I create a drawing and then resize and transfer it to my canvas using a rapidresizer.com and transfer paper.
For the initial sketch I use a regular old mechanical pencil and I measure out a rectangle with the same aspect ratio as my canvas. In this case I am using an 18x24 inch canvas which is a 3:4 ratio. So, the rectangle on the paper is 12x16 inches (also a 3:4 ratio). I started off by drawing a vertical line down the center and a horizontal line across in order to find the exact center of the rectangle. I used two reference photos I found on Unsplash.com to get the placements of the facial features and the proportions of the 3/4 profile view. I then use a set of illustrator pens that I got from Michael's (Artist Loft brand) to darken the lines.
After the drawing was complete, I took a photo of the drawing and used Adobe Photoshop to crop and make sure it was a 3:4 ratio.
I hope you enjoy the video and please leave any questions in the comment section!

At the end of the video where you demonstrate the transfer paper...... As a tattoo artist of 20 years I started doing all of my print outs in red or light blue and used a pen or pencil over it. that way when I traced out my stencil I could see more accurately what I might have missed. :)
Thanks for sharing this process. There is Mucha and Klimt and now Broderick. Love your originality. You always make it your own and definitely do the work.❤
Thank you Lynne!!!❤❤❤
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. Love to watch your process The painting will be fabulous I’m sure Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this and all of your wonderful ideas and tutorials. Not only could I watch you paint and draw for days, I could also listen to you talk about it for days. Your passion for what you do shines through in every video. Can't wait to see your collage/painting on this one. Fingers crossed 🤞 your filming. Cheers luv 🍷
Thank you Kelly!!! I'm working on the piece now. I'm really excited about it and can't wait to show the process!❤❤❤
I might be doing this on a much smaller (simpler) scale, but it was great to see your process. And, I would put Wonder Woman out of your mind -- your artwork is wonderful and unique.
Thank you so much! I'm in the process of painting her now. I think she looks less like Wonder Woman in color!😁❤
I adore Alphonse Mucha work he has influenced my work …. Miss Lydia you are Brilliant you inspire me thank you !!!
Thank you! I think the art nouveau movement is my favorite. Especially the works of Mucha.❤
This drawing is so beautiful. Good you didn't trash it. I think you are the only one who see Wonderwoman - I don't think she looks like her at all.
Btw this tutorial was really great. Particularly the rapidresizer-site was new to me. So I learnt a lot! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Lydia ❤🙏❤
So cool!!! Ok, I did not know about the computer program to resize. Picture me at a copy shop, (or at work 🤫) on a full size copier enlarging & moving my image all around! Lol
But once I made 20 mix & match copies I’m back on track. I tape and transfer the same. -Just on wood for a mosaic.
The computer program will really help!
Thanks Lydia 😁👍
Gorgeous drawing!!! 🎨
Love it! Thank you for sharing your process!
love your train of thought--creative mind! Brilliant. Thank you🌻🌻🌻
Beautiful art work. Thanks for the info Unsplash, and about the graphite paper. Will definitely come in useful.
I LOVE your content. Thank you for sharing this tip!!
So helpful Lydia, thank you so much for sharing.
Absolutely love how much I just learned from your video. Beautiful. ❤️❤️
Thank you!!!❤❤❤☺
Thank you, going to try it. I normally project my drawings, but unfortunately a battle to combat warping! 🙌🏻👌🏻 Looking forward to the painting!! Enjoy the process 🎨💜
Thank you for this! I will try this way! ❤.
In the 90‘s we used a photo copy machine (A3) to print out a full sized pic for a stencil, to airbrush onto a truck or wall etc. A mosaic to stick together.
Today I would use a beamer, or just draw it 😊 (experience teaches)
Your work and attitude is fantastic!
Thank you! I love to hear what people did back in the day. I was wearing flannel in full on grunge with a goal of being a misunderstood angsty teenage artist back in the 90's.😁
@@lydiabroderick867 I was wearing Dr Martins and black. (still wear mostly black, but the shoes have elevated. Though Dr Martins are still badass and timeless
Beautiful! And informative😁
Habe wieder was gelernt !! Danke Lydia !! Du bist spitze!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank You Lydia👍👍👏👏😘
Im learning so much from you. Thank you for being so Rad
Thank you for thinking I'm Rad!!! ❤❤❤
Love that drawing, I hope you do a video of the painting too. Thanks for showing your process ❤
Thank you!!! I'm currently painting and filming so the next video will be the process.😊❤
Thanks for a great tutorial! Love your work. What is your take on a projector? I admire your patience doing first the sketch and then transferring it to canvas.
Hello Sunshine - your artwork is amazing. I love watching you draw. This is an interesting process. Hope to see you paint this on the canvas! (And remember to use sunscreen next time, or wear a light shirt. Too many of my friends are ending up with skin cancers. Don't let that happen to you! Cover up, sweet pea!) Have a fantabulous week. 🙂
I hope we get to see the painting 🎨
❤
👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Lydia not sure which video you may have explained but could you do a video on how to finish the edges if you do and how to apply varnish when complete and how long oil over acrylic takes to dry.
Great idea!!!
Apollo went to the Moon with 12 men... Next year, Artemus is going back with the first 4...
(sorry, my space-geek is showing lol)
I often use my printer to enlarge images I want to transfer, I also use carbon paper under it and now you've just shown me another trick... Using a coloured pen to do the tracing, that way you don't miss anything before you lift it up! Great idea!! Thanks Lydia... Have great weekend😎😍.
Can you save in Rapid Resizer so you can save and print elsewhere? I don't have a printer at home. Awesome video! Very helpful
You might be able to... I'll have to look into that.
I always hears graphite is not the way to go because it will always comes up after you paint over it…
I haven't had any issues with it and I've been using it for years.
If you're concerned about the drawing showing through, you could give it a light spray with a hair spray to seal it.
