“So we’ve reached the end of the course. I want to thank you for joining me and I hope that you’ve come away with some new ideas and a developed means of expressing yourself. Before saying goodbye let me remind you of some of the main areas we covered throughout the lessons and that you should apply when you do your own final project: 1. Seek out inspiration and dedicate time to finding seemingly unrelated discoveries that excite and energise you. It might sound obvious, but it’s easy to get out of the habit and it's key to creating work that can realise its full potential.

2. Spend time sketching, exploring and don’t be reserved or shy, go ridiculous and then refine. When you’re working for yourself, discovery is the focus, don’t get bogged down in applying qualitative values. 3. It’s up to you what you incorporate from these lessons, what I want to impart is the logic I use when I build my character illustrations. Where you take them should be totally different. 4. Don’t be shy, get your work out there. Build your own corner of the internet and let willing participants come and explore it with you. Everything I’ve shown you here is the product of my own experimentation over the years. I’m very much learning and my practice will change and I encourage you to do the same. Hopefully, this course is one stepping stone in the many you’ll use to unlock your full creative potential. It’s such an exciting time to be a creator, in some ways I’m jealous of people starting now as there are so many routes to industry, it’s not even defined what industry is. You might not even need industry. What is the industry? What am I talking about? It doesn’t matter, just make stuff, work it into something only you could do and get better at it. I’m excited about seeing your ideas and your final projects. I’m gonna leave you images of all my process, along with the tasks I propose you to do. Please share with us, in the forum, the images of your process as well, along with your experience - what you found more complicated, simpler, etc. Share your final project and don’t forget to participate in the forum in other ways, advising your colleagues too - it will certainly be enriching if they receive opinions other than mine. Above all, make it your own, your inspirations and final project should be a reflection of you and no one else and I look forward to seeing who you are. So, it’s time to say goodbye for now but I hope we will stay in touch in the course’s forum. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions and I’ll try to answer them as soon as possible! Bye! ”
