About the video: Direct to the eye: planes 1
Overview
“Everything seen in Unit 3 has served to make a complete, but poorly defined, approach to the scene: the colors are highlighted and everything is worked on the same level. We have raffled cauliflowers, edges, created gradients that have given us a blurred effect and we have scraped the color to gain clarity in some areas. Now it is time to highlight the main shot to focus the image and direct the eye. For me, a good illustration is what does this: it directs the eye and creates a narrative with the planes, it creates depth. ”
In this video lesson Carlos Rodríguez Casado addresses the topic: Direct to the eye: planes 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Watercolor Illustration: Recreate Your Most Iconic Scenes. Master the expressiveness, details, and layout of watercolor painting to produce stunning illustrations.

But at this point the illustration is as it should be Possibly your illustration is also at this point. Nothing happens....”
