About the final project for: Sketchbook Illustration for Collecting Ideas

Sketchbook Illustration for Collecting Ideas

“We have reached the end of the course, I hope you liked this brief tour of how I work personal illustration projects and that you have been able to inspire you through what we talked and did. Always remember to experiment with different materials so that you can always choose the ones that best suit your style and what you want to express. I invite you now to create a composition completely yours! The idea is that you can find your own voice: try to create a project that means something to you and remember that it is essential that you focus on the process in order to create your next illustration projects and really enjoy them. I would love to see your final project once you have it finished, but I would also like to see the path you traveled to reach the goal. I leave you an example of how I would like to see your final project. Find your way Observe your interests and based on them go out for inspiration. Let the ideas flow, allow yourself to take photos of everything that catches your attention, take all the photographs that you consider necessary.

Your image bank After doing a short photo report, put together a bank of ideas. For the selection of your photos, take the opportunity to listen to what they tell you! So you will realize which ones you will not use this time, you can get rid of those photos or save them for another project.
Your sketchbook Now, let go of your hand! Make a thematic sketchbook to explore your creativity through the daily exercise of drawing around a concept.
The illustration! Finally, make an illustration based on your sketchbook that reflects that personal exploration and what you have experienced through your sketchbook. And ready!
If you want to take your project a little further, from an print to a line of objects, an editorial or textile project, then remember that in the last unit I left you some tips so that you can do this with the highest quality possible. Please, if you dared to take your project further, show me, it will give me great joy to see how far your creations go! Don't forget to share your final project so I can give you feedback. So in mind that maybe you can inspire others if you share it, so don't hesitate to show it to your friends or family. You can also show it to your followers by sharing it on Instagram with the hashtag #CatalinaBuDomestika , don't forget to tag us @catalinabu and @domestika . Finally, do not forget that this course was made for you, perhaps you can frame your final project to remember what you learned. Before saying goodbye, I ask you not to be so severe with you, be flexible with your choices and do not stress yourself with techniques, formats or themes that intimidate you ... start where you are . Once again, thank you for taking this course, I hope it helps you bring out all that creativity that you have. Remember that if you have any questions, I will be in the forum to resolve them as soon as possible. Bye see you soon! ”
