Digital Narrative Illustration with Light and Shadow
“Dear students, we have reached the end of the course. Thanks for the time together! Throughout the lessons, we studied the main characteristics of the graphic image. We review different references that draw with shadow and light to tell a story or convey a concept. In each unit I left you tasks, it is very important that you do them to be able to tackle the final project. I proposed that you work on the creation of three illustrations, based on a story. I encourage you to continue exploring different stories, continue working on personal projects, that excite you and evoke everything you want to convey from your reading. As illustrators, we interpret ideas and tell from the personal vision that we have forged throughout our lives.
