A great painting starts with a great reference! This high-resolution reference image is a valuable tool for your art library. It features perfect lighting that clearly highlights the geometric pattern of the scales and the transition from golden yellow to deep amber tones, helping you understand form and shadow. The crisp details allow you to zoom in and study the texture of the rough, hexagonal skin and the spiky crown of leaves. Use this reference to practice your drawing skills or to experiment with your own color palettes distinct from the tutorial. It is excellent for a daily painting challenge.
