by Whitney Ryan @whitney_ryan

Celebrate World Animal Day & access a free download that shows you how to draw the basic anatomy of animals.

It’s October 4th meaning … Happy World Animal Day! Today we celebrate our favorite friends and unite the animal welfare movement, mobilizing it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals!

Domestika teacher Julie Mellan is an illustrator from France. Her love for art came from the first day she could hold a pen; where she would spend her childhood drawing animal characters from classic Disney animated movies. She currently holds a literary bachelor’s degree where she studied classic drawing, painting, illustration, and animation. Upon graduating she spent her days practicing and learning every day; with her work now appearing in many children’s books around the world!

In her course “Dynamic Animal Illustration for Children’s Stories”, she teaches students how to draw anthropomorphic characters that bring joy to young readers by exploring the fundamentals of animal anatomy, posing, and stylization. By learning these drawing techniques you will be able to light up the imagination of young readers through character illustration. And to celebrate the occasion today we want to share a free download from the course with you!

Free download: color proofing template for your stationery designs

Optimize your printed designs with this free color proofing template. Adjust tones and make sure you get professional results. Color is one of the pillars of graphic design. In stationery projects -such as invitations, cards or catalogs- color accuracy is key to maintain visual coherence and convey a brand's identity. However, the colors you see on screen are rarely reproduced exactly the same when printed. That's why color proofing before producing any printed piece is an essential step. It helps you avoid surprises, adjust tones and ensure that the final result accurately reflects your original design. At Domestika we want to make this process easier for you: we offer you a free color proof template, editable and ready to print, that will allow you to compare color values, calibrate your printer and optimize the quality of your stationery projects. Why color proofing is essential in graphic design Digital devices and printers interpret colors differently. A bright red on your monitor may look duller on paper, or a deep blue may take on greenish hues depending on the type of ink or media. Color proofing allows you to: - Adjust tones, contrast and saturation before printing en masse. - Prevent waste of materials and ensure consistent results. - Optimize color management, especially when working with different papers or finishes. Color proofing allows you to: - Adjust tones, contrast and saturation before mass printing. - Prevent waste of materials and ensure consistent results. - Optimize color management, especially when working with different papers or finishes. What's included in this free template Domestika's color proofing template has been designed to suit the needs of graphic designers, illustrators and creatives looking for accuracy and efficiency. Inside the file you will find: - An editable document for printing and comparing different color values. - Annotation spaces to record combinations, Pantone references or HEX/RGB codes. - A design adaptable to different types of paper and finishes, so that you can evaluate how colors behave on each material. - b]A visual guide for calibrating printers or adjusting inks manually. With this tool, you can perform your own professional proofs without relying on expensive external services. How to use the template step by step. Download the free file from Domestika. Open the document in your usual design software: Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. Insert your palettes or base colors in the designated areas. Print a proof on different types of paper and see how the tones change depending on texture or brightness. Adjust values until you find the most faithful version of your original design. This process will allow you to develop more accurate color criteria and improve the quality of your printed work. From resource to complete course. If you want to take your mastery of color and visual composition to another level, we recommend the Minimalist Graphic Design for Stationery course.

The untold story of Hayao Miyazaki: the soul behind the master of animation

Explore the lesser-known history of Hayao Miyazaki, his creative process and philosophy, from his beginnings at Toei to the founding of Studio Ghibli.. To talk about Hayao Miyazaki is to talk about one of the most influential creators in the history of animation. Founder of Studio Ghibli and author of classics such as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke, his films have transformed the way the world understands cartoons: not as children's entertainment, but as an artistic language capable of exploring human emotion with depth and beauty. But behind the master is a man full of contradictions: obsessive, idealistic, sentimental and, at the same time, radically critical of the world around him. This article reveals Miyazaki's less told story: his way of working, his influences, his initial failures and the philosophy that shaped his poetic universe. The content is inspired by the documentary The Never-Before-Told Story of Hayao Miyazaki and the key stages of his early career.
