Illustration for music lovers
“It's up to say goodbye to the band and recapitulate everything we've learned during the course: - First we have chosen the group on which we were going to make the poster. We needed to know him well, so we have compiled all the possible graphic and musical information about him. - Next we have brainstormed based on the group's information and we have compiled related images. - With all this, we have launched a basic sketch and then a collage in Photoshop. - After practicing with brushes, the time has come to get down to work: from our collage, we have started to build the background by applying the color palette. - Next we have illustrated our main characters / elements. - The time has come to work on the texts and for this, we have customized them by making them compatible with the graphic line of the poster. - We have incorporated some secondary but vital elements to compensate and balance both the composition and our color palette. - Finally we have given the final touches to finish enhancing our design. - We only had to print it and show it with pride. This is the end of this course, I hope you enjoyed it and discovered and learned new ways of working and new techniques. See you at concerts and in the forum! ”

A course by Oscar Giménez
Oscar Giménez is a professional illustrator who is also passionate about music and the world of graphics in general. He loves to experiment and try different techniques, which makes each of his illustrations unique.
He has worked in all areas of the profession for magazines like Rolling Stone, Playboy, and Yorokobu, publishers like Penguin and Planeta, and record companies like Universal Music. He has also worked for newspapers like El País, Expansión and Fomento, advertising agencies, promoters, and producers (Telecinco).
In recent years he has specialized in music illustration thanks to a personal project of concert illustrations compiled in the book Sold Out. During this project, he developed a taste for illustrated portraits capturing groups and musicians that also led to other commissions to illustrate all kinds of characters.
Finally, Yorokobu magazine decided to open a regular section called Rock n' Draw in which Óscar creates a musical portrait every two weeks.
His portraits are no ordinary portraits. They seek to capture the essence of the character and make a unique illustration that reflects their world.
