More than one photo can be used as a reference, or a single photo
can be altered such as the one shown here. In this example I moved a subject over for a better fit on the board


In this example, the original picture was quite small. I enlarged the drawing, and each of the figures stands
about 18 inches tall. This type of enlargement would not be possible photographically, as the image would become extremely
blurry.

I also turned the grandfather, so that when the pictures are hung, the couple will face each other.
One other revision I made was to fix the tie, which was blowing in the wind. In the drawing, it lays straight and turned around.

In this example, details of the blanket were left out for
a less distracting background
