Study Based on Photo Reference
Made with Clip Studio Paint
This piece is based on a photo of a trash bin I took while in Glasgow.
The process began with a simple block-in to establish its structure and basic value.
Next, I created the logo and applied it with the correct perspective. I used various texture brushes to refine the finer details.
The graffiti layer was the final step. It wasn’t present in the original reference, but it reflects a common cultural practice in Glasgow, which I really like.
Adding it brings a sense of creativity, energy, and fun to the piece.
