About the final project for: Illustration for Beginners: Find Your Own Method

Illustration for Beginners: Find Your Own Method

“You have reached the end of this adventure. Thank you for choosing this course and allowing me to be your teacher. Sharing with you what I have learned over the years has been wonderful and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. It is time to start a new journey, for this you must create your own final project. I share an example of how I would like to see your final project. The word Choose a word with which you are going to do your project, for example: love, friendship, magic, madness, etc. My word is: love. The technique Choose a technique or combine them to work your project.

Figures Make shapes to start the shapes that will be in your illustrations.
The project Order the sequence of the six illustrations you made. Scan and make the choice of font. Finally, choose in what format you will finish your project.
It is important that you finish your final project so that you can experiment and learn. Remember that everything I taught you in the group is just one more way of working, but you can take what works for you and adapt it to your way of working. Only you can create your own secret recipe! There are a thousand ways to make illustrations, find the one that makes you happy and leads you to create incredible results. Please, do not stop sharing your project, I will give you feedback as soon as possible. I ask you to be patient, since it may take a while to respond and, in the meantime, I invite you to see the projects of the rest of your colleagues. If the result is not what you expected, do not despair. Keep in mind that in mistakes there are also opportunities and that these are only an opportunity to learn and grow. If you are concerned about finding or defining your style, be patient and work hard, you will see that with time, effort and dedication your own style will come to light. Trust yourself, your work and your process! In experimentation there is not only chance, to experiment is to create the conditions for something new to appear, you have to be attentive to catch it. Once again, thank you for being here. See you soon on the forum.”

Partial transcription of the video

“Final project Thank you for accompanying me in this course. I hope you liked it. I do not give recipes, I only describe reasoning so you can find your working method. You will choose a technique that we saw in Unit 2, and from this you will have a guide to continue experimenting. There are so many ways to make illustrations as people who want to make illustrations. Value mistakes and difficulties. For Hermeto Pascoal, who is a Brazilian musician, the fallas are pretty. And for Egberto Gismonti, who is another Brazilian musician, He says that you have to compose the songs with all the flaws ...”
