How to create drawings for Wikipedia

When you make drawings of a person based on photos, you can take them as inspiration or reference. But you must make sure that your drawing is not:

> a reproduction:​ the same image but in a different mean,

> a derivative work:​ a new work with many recognizable elements of the original.

This resource provides quick tips for drawing from photos, and explains what you should take into account when using drawings to illustrate Wikipedia.

“Creating drawings for Wikipedia” is part of the VisibleWikiWomen Campaign Kit.
