About the video: "The fauna" - Illustrating the main figures
Overview
“I'll explain how I illustrate a character and how I apply shadows and color. This technique is also appropriate to illustrate people or other elements.

Partial transcription of the video
“"LA FAUNA": ILLUSTRATING THE MAIN FIGURES In this lesson we will illustrate our main characters and I will show you something characteristic in my work, which is how the line and the shadows work. And incidentally, we will begin to unite the figures with the background. Let's go for it.

A course by Oscar Giménez
Oscar Giménez is a hopeless illustrator. He is permanently dissatisfied, although fortunately, after 13 years in the profession, he no longer believes in perfectionism, nor in luck. He does believe in dedication, slow cooking, and music as the best opium, so much so that he also co-directs a music magazine in the spare time that he doesn't have and devours concerts as if he were paid for it.
He was born in Barcelona and welcomed by Madrid. If you look closely, you will be able to see his work in the press, in publicity, on television, in murals, on book and magazine covers, and on records and posters. If you don't pay attention, it may be he who is watching you, because his restless head is an exhausting catalog of references of all kinds. He's not a genius, although the coats look good on him and that can throw you off from afar. Some of his clients are Adobe, Playboy, Universal Music, Rolling Stone, Audi, Heineken Music Selector, Telecinco, El País, and The National Magazine Company, among others.
In his music posters he has illustrated Elliot Brood, Pumuky, Vivian Girls, The Human League, No Age, Crystal Fighters, and many more.
