Imaginary Worlds Illustrated with Ink and Watercolor

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you for choosing me as your teacher and accompanying me on this adventure. I made my final project based on a type of adventure story, with little people leading a quiet life, to whom something unexpected can happen, something that leads them to take action, to face fears, to defend what they have built and cared for. . The world is a miniature town in some corner of the forest, where its inhabitants are dedicated to the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, mushroom picking and what the forest can offer them in the different seasons. My stage is ready for many stories to happen! Now it is your turn, I invite you to embark on this adventure. Create your own final project, for this you must make an illustration that tells a story of your own that inspires, excites and challenges you. I share an example of how I would like to see your process: The character Design a character that will be the protagonist of your story. I made several sketches and chose the most appropriate one. Also, take this opportunity to create your wardrobe.

The home Where will your character live? Think about the place where your character will live. You can do something very simple like I did. The community Who will be the secondary characters that will accompany your character on his adventures? Think about those characters and start designing them, I recommend that you follow the same process that you followed to make your main character. The world Design your character's world. Draw a map so you can locate yourself spatially. Remember that the more details you think about this world, the greater impact you can create on the people who see your work. The illustration Put together all the elements you created and create an illustration. Use the techniques I taught you. Decide what order of techniques you are going to choose and start painting. And ready! Remember that each new project is an opportunity to take another step, take on new challenges and grow. Try not to stay superficial, if you work on something that interests you, then the path will be wonderful. Please, do not make correct or incorrect value judgments about your work, keep in mind that we each have our times, our own way of drawing and expressing ourselves. The important thing is to be constantly learning! Keep an open mind, so you will always have time to live new experiences. Don't forget to share your final project on the forum. See you on the forum, feel free to use it, as it is a beautiful space to exchange with the creative community. I will be attentive to your work, questions and queries. In addition, I invite you to interact with your classmates to learn together. And now, start drawing!”

“Final Project We’ve reached the end of the course. I hope you liked it and learned a lot. It’s been a pleasure for me to be able to share my knowledge, especially my ink and watercolor techniques. For your project, first look for inspiration and references, a theme that inspires you to draw. This concept will help you create designs that are coherent and have sense and meaning. Remember that each skin is a chance for development. First, we have the character, the individual. The second skin, their clothes. The third skin is their house, where they live. Then, the fourth, the community. Fina...”
