This Artist Turns Sketches Into Amazing Digital Art

Leaving Home

According to Antti Karppinen, a digital artist, photographer, retoucher and educator from Finland: “For a digital artist like me, getting those unique ideas for my images is one of the most important things. I see them in my dreams, when I read a magazine, or pretty much anywhere I go. When I get the idea, I need to sketch it out fast to my notebook so I won’t forget it.

Here you can see a bunch of my projects with sketches that I have drawn in my notebook. There are always some tweaks to the concept or the image itself, but many times my sketch and final image almost are a one-to-one match.

In my notebook, there are many more similar sketches just waiting for their time to be created as a final image.”
