Digital Illustration with Manga Influence

“We have reached the end of the course, join me to review what we have learned on this trip. I started by telling you who I am and how drawing and design are a fundamental part of my life, how I started to make my own stories and also my first job opportunities and how far they have taken me. Right away I showed you what elements of pop culture inspired me since I was a child and some artists who inspire me by how they reinterpret Japanese graphics. What led us to talk about it and how it came about. We also talked about how it changed over time and slipped to the West, to later show you some attributes that you can adapt yourself to your liking. Then we exercised creativity with the forced relationships exercise, where I showed you a useful way to arrive at interesting results for drawing.

Then with this knowledge, we add more carnita talking about Visual Narrative and elements that can serve you and a little about composition so that you think about how to position your characters in space. Then I showed you simple resources and methodologies to understand color and we went on to draw. Always from the general to the particular, starting with thumbnails and moodboard, followed by our digital sketch, then inking it, coloring it neatly and adding atmosphere with shadows and graphic elements. Finally, you saw me create textures by hand and give the drawings a bit of post-production to highlight them much more and give them a unique and organic look. That has been all in the course, I hope the knowledge has served you and you make the most of it so that you shine with your own style and narrative. Remember that if you have any questions or concerns that have not been resolved, you can ask me in the forum. Thanks for joining me and for listening. Hope to see your work! ”
