Try the reference task before deciding

Alien Cyborgs sits where creature ideas and machine details meet. Choose this lesson edition when the artist wants a construction sequence to study before trying an independently invented cyborg.

Printing the whole picture

Use portrait orientation and fit the original image to your printer’s usable area. Avoid a crop-to-fill setting. Keep a grid reference and blank worksheet at the same scale. Use spare paper when the sample is a construction reference.

Keep reference and invention separate

After the actual sample task, choose whether a new idea on your own outline sounds interesting. Compare these two purposes before treating a reference book as an invention prompt.
