“We've already finished our project. In the video, I summarize what we've done during the course. Thank you for making it up until this point, I hope you enjoyed the course and that it contributed something new! I hope that my tips and tricks will help you when taking on new projects and to overcome your fear of watercolor. Remember that it's a technique that you have to practice a lot and where you can't afraid to make mistakes... I've told you about my creative process and the style that I've created over time. Now based on experimentation, trial and error, try to make it your own and come up with your own style. Don't get overwhelmed by trying to achieve a recognizable style, through drawing, practice and above all, making mistakes (use mistakes in your favor, some ideas come from those mistakes and daring to experiment) you'll pick up the style you like over time.

I hope that you surprise me in the forum with your original results! See you there, thank you very much! ”

A course by Ana Santos
Drawing has been Ana's passion since she was a child, so she didn't think twice about enrolling in a fine arts school where she specialized in drawing and graphic design. She has always been fascinated by the human figure, which often appears in one form or another in her personal projects.
Ana combines traditional and digital techniques and is an expert at capturing expressive looks, strong attitudes, and somber moods in her illustrations, which have appeared in publications from major publishers such as Penguin Random House, Editorial Planeta, and Roca Editorial.
