About the video: Preliminary drawing
Overview
“Now that we already know our animal in depth and have defined an interesting composition, it is time to build our preliminary drawing as the basis for the work that awaits us. We will see how to use the anatomy to fit the drawing, how to transfer the references to the pose and perspective that we have defined in our composition and what level of detail and indications we must include in the drawing so that the subsequent phases are easier. ”
In this video lesson Román García Mora addresses the topic: Preliminary drawing, 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.

“PRELIMINARY DRAWING We have learned more about our animal and we've chosen a composition that tells a story. Now, I'll teach you how to develop a preliminary drawing that will be the base for the rest. Let's see how to do it. Let's take the composition we added light to and we'll copy and paste to a new layer. We'll place this image by filling in the canvas with Adjust to screen.

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.
