Pencil Vs Camera Quick Demo

I was asked to do a quick "Pencil Vs Camera" demo at "Pavillon M" in Marseille during the recent "Tour de France Photo". Please note I only spent 15 minutes on the following small project, I usually spend several days to create a worthy Pencil Vs Camera artwork!

Step 1: Start a hand-drawn sketch on a piece of paper

Step 2: Add details and shadows to your drawing...

Step 3: Hold your paper, take a photo with your subject

Step 4: Import your picture in a photo editing software

Step 5: Edit the pic, make some improvements if necessary

Tour de France Photo Backstage

A selection of backstage pictures taken during my 2013 "Tour De France Photo". You can view all my final edited photos of this event at this link (they are not visible in the following report). "Tour De France Photo" is an artistic event happening every year and gathering models, photographers, makeup artists, fashion designers and hair styling artists. I travelled in a big van with the organizer/founder Thomas Ueberschlag across major places and cities in France. It was a nice experience. (Photo report: © 2013 Ben Heine)
