Curso buenísimo, me ha ayudado muchísimo a avanzar! Los consejos y técnicas que enseña el profesor los puedes adaptar a tu propio estilo de dibujo y herramientas. Yo por ejemplo hago dibujo digital y uso mis pinceles favoritos de Procreate, y para mí este curso ha sido oro, que he podido aplicar perfectamente en mi propio medio artístico. De todos los cursos de ilustración que he hecho aquí, este es uno de mis TOP 5.
Explica con detalle el como y por qué de composición, luces y sombras, elección de edificios y figuras en la ilustración, colores elegidos y su utilización en las diferentes zonas. Gracias
Very good!
