“We have reached the end of the course, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Before saying goodbye I will give you some recommendations to keep in mind when developing your project.

Remember that there is no limit to play and tests before planning the final project. Have fun, try and explore.

Remember that we will cover that with color and it is only a guide to be clear about the place of the elements in the space. Choose your color palette and test to see if the colors look good together. Step 3: Backgrounds It is time to put the color. Prepare enough mixture for each shade, have your brushes clean and ready. Fill in the shapes you made with the pencil with loose brush strokes. Play with the tones to create the illusion of volume with just a few strokes. Trust your hand and your ideas, also remember that the material has its own language and that is the most beautiful thing. Once you finish your funds, wait until they are very dry to continue, be patient with that. Step 4: line on color Now we will discover our drawing, we begin to outline and create our atmosphere and characters. We will practice using the stylus with care and patience.

It is a time to play and bring what you think is important to the fore. I am sure that you will discover other ways to solve your drawings with this step and you can continue developing an idea that you liked very much.
