About the final project for: Illustrated Portraits in Art Nouveau Style

Illustrated Portraits in Art Nouveau Style

“We have reached the end of this course. The project consists of making an illustration in the art nouveau style. The character to be portrayed can be whoever you want. The idea is that you add these graphic tools to your illustration style. Next, we are going to review the phases of the final project that I want you to show when you share your project in the forum. Illustration idea Decide who you are going to portray. Next, put together a mood board with the central ideas that you have gleaned from your brainstorming. Also choose the reference photo for your illustration. Look for inspiration in your memories and memories, because we are portraying someone you love, take advantage of that.

Sketch Already in Phosohop, put together a kind of skeleton of the image to get an idea of how the whole will be. This way you will have a global vision to be able to refine it little by little.

I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It is sure to be very enriching for everyone! Take this course as a guide, my goal here is for you to find your own way of expressing yourself, I have only given you tips to help you improve as the illustrator or illustrator that you already are. See you on the forum! ”

“Final Project Hi, we’ve made it to the end of this course. The project consists of creating an art nouveau illustration. You can depict whomever you wish. The idea is that you complement your illustration style with these graphic tools. Remember that to keep that art nouveau feel throughout the composition, there must be many flowers, falling fabrics, graceful and empowered poses, and scrolls all over the place. Dry brushes will be very useful to achieve this effect. Remember to keep your workspace neat and tidy. Always name your layers. It might take more time, but I guarantee that as you ...”
