This course is the perfect complement to “Illustration for music lovers” , the previous installment of the illustrator for Domestika, which explains how to illustrate a high-impact poster for a concert.
What will you learn in this online course?
You will begin by getting to know the work and influences of Óscar Giménez – an illustrator who considers himself permanently dissatisfied although, after 13 years of profession, he no longer believes in perfectionism but in dedication.
Then you will learn basic concepts about composition, brushes, strokes, shading, color and retouching. All these resources you will practice first on your own self-portrait so that you can get free with the tools and then, once you have decided who is your favorite famous character that you want to illustrate in a unique way, you will start the documentation phase, search for images of reference and composition of the main portrait.
When you have your character fully defined with shadows and color, it will be time to add new elements to enrich your illustration, a background that gives the work its greatest personality and the last touches.
What is this course’s project?
You will create a portrait of your favorite celebrity from information gathered about him and visual references. In this project, you will apply all the techniques learned in the course on composition, use of color and integration of the character in your particular universe.
Who is this online course for?
To enthusiasts and professionals of illustration and design who are interested in learning new techniques and methodologies to apply both to the illustrated portrait and to any other project.
