About the final project for: Artist's Sketchbook for Illustration Projects
Artist notebook for illustration projects
“Dear students, we have already reached the end of the course, or almost, but this is not goodbye ... We have had our moments, through which we have seen the importance of always having a notebook in our bag or backpack and the importance of always documenting ourselves for any project. Now the best remains, that you go making your final project and dedicate all the time that you have; making each project an opportunity to improve and being able to collect the best projects is priceless. For those of you who dedicate yourself or want to dedicate yourself to drawing as a profession, in the long run you always end up having your reward, both in terms of personal and professional satisfaction. It is important that at the beginning you set yourself affordable goals, themes for your illustrations that are of progressive difficulty, from the simple to the complex, in parts; This is not a race or a competition, we are here to learn and, above all, to practice. Over the years, if you are drawing and compiling what you do (even if it seems a bit lazy) you will see how it has been worth it. As the course is proposed as a “free theme”, share your ideas for your illustrations in the forum and feel free to comment on the work of other colleagues; I am convinced that it will be very enriching for everyone. Have a little patience with my feedback , I am usually very busy between so much drawing, mural and traveling, and I don't always have the availability that I would like. I will try by all means to be for you at the height you deserve. Thank you very much for your energy, your desire and your effort to improve every day. A greeting. ”

Later I told you about the "briefing" and the concept that we draw from it. Then we talk about mood boards and ask ourselves lots of questions to solve the concept that we proposed in the "brief...”
