Layered Illustration with Felt

“We have reached the end of the course! I want to thank you so much for accompanying the classes so far. Now you can make your final project with everything you've learned. Here are some steps that we saw during the classes and that can be useful when making your project: • Choose the theme of your illustration and look for reference images of the elements you want to represent. • Draw each element separately, simplify the strokes by styling the design, and then experiment with their compositions together. • Set the color palette adapted to the felt scale. • Think about the relationship of the layers and their heights and create the patterns to cut out. • Cut out all the patterns and reassemble the illustration adjusting as you see fit. • Finally, glue all the elements together and wait for them to dry. If you want, make the finishing treatment with thermoline to better preserve your work. You can present your project by showing some steps in the process and photos of your entire illustration or in detail. Here's an example: Cutouts

Final project Don't worry about following the same theme we saw during the course, nor my drawing style. Now you have learned the technique and can illustrate whatever you want, in the way that best represents you. Be sure to post your finished project because I really want to see what you're going to create. Any questions you have, also write on the forum. I will be keeping an eye on everything you are sharing! It was a pleasure to be able to share a little bit of my creative process. I hope I served as an inspiration for you to continue creating! Thank you very much and see you later! ”
