About the video: Sketches. Meet the animal through drawing 1
Overview
“Although, thanks to the internet, today we have many images of our animal, the truth is that no image will be as informative as the one we can create with our own hands. The best way to know anything is by drawing it. The exercise of observing and transferring what is observed to paper is one of the most powerful ways of knowing the world around us. In this lesson I propose several options to be able to develop this exercise of sketching your animal more or less from nature (museums, zoos and recovery centers, documentaries ...). In addition, I will give you some tips to face the drawing of a model in motion and the characteristics that we must register in our sketches to complete our references. ”
In this video lesson Román García Mora addresses the topic: Sketches. Meet the animal through drawing 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Naturalist Animal Illustration with Procreate. Learn how to illustrate the animal world in detail from your iPad and divulge it visually.

“SKETCHES Get to Know your Animal by Drawing Thanks to the Internet, we can get a lot of images as reference, but there's nothing better than one created by us, making a sketch of the animal. When drawing, we can concentrate on certain features and choose what information we'll register. We become more aware of the animal's volume.

A course by Román García Mora
Román García is not only an illustrator but also a biologist, and since 2008, he has been working above all on scientific and informative illustration projects. His drawings have been published in acclaimed magazines including National Geographic and Quo Magazine. He also collaborates with the Real Jardín Botánico in Madrid to produce illustrations for the CSIC's Flora Iberica project.
His work consists of creating images of things that we cannot see because they belong to a past time, the world of imagination, or simply because they are not perceptible to the human eye. To achieve this, he uses digital illustration as the foundation for his work and combines it with traditional techniques, 3D modeling, and illustrative retouching.
