Using Newspaper Photographs

Newspaper photographs: I use them all the time for reference and inspiration. Here are some examples of drawings from newspaper photos:

Different Kinds of Drawing

Drawing people asleep on trains.

Drawing air hostesses and nervous young men.

Drawing people having tea in a cafe in a park.

Drawing a back yard.

Drawing china.

Doing some sketchbook work, using a newspaper photograph for reference. For this picture I used oil pastels, Caran d'Ache water-soluble crayons, some pencil, and a bit of ink wash.
