Creative Composition for Illustration with Procreate

“Dear student, We have reached the end of the course. In this course I taught you how to create your collections and reference boards and how to take inspiration from the topics that you are most passionate about. We also looked at the basics and necessary to work digitally in Procreate and the concepts of composition and color. We land what can be a personal project in a quick and easy way. Remember that the first steps and the ideas you manage to download are just as important as the rest of the project, if it is the first times you do this, be patient and enjoy each stroke you make. You can use this process and illustrations with a purpose greater than that of social networks, you can start a series of illustrations, a fanzine or apply this knowledge to your work. I share here some parts of the process of one of my illustrations of my final project and that I taught you throughout the course: 1. Choose the universe of the illustration. Inspiration, creativity and let's get to work!

2. Trace the final sketch. Get to the final path after cleaning the composition. 3. Add color. With a chosen color palette and applied color theory. 4. Add lights and shadows. A very powerful resource to highlight the details of the illustration. 5. Put textures on it. The final touch of the illustration. Now it's your turn! Share in the forum your final project with your process, your creation stages and of course, your reel with the three illustrations! Seeing the creation process of other people enables us to learn more and see other ways of thinking about the composition of an illustration. I hope you have a new perspective on the whole process that an illustrator completes and that you liked the course. How great it was to work together and thank you for taking this course. Until next time! Chabaski. ”
