Illustrated Portraits: Adobe Fresco for Beginners

Illustrated Portraits: Adobe Fresco for Beginners

“We have now come to the end of this course. Thanks for being there! Before we say goodbye to each other, I would like to give you another tip or two to help you get the most out of your final project. Creating a mood board is the first step on your journey into the world of illustration. It is best to choose images and colors that appeal to you in particular. Using your mood board, you can now create an initial rough sketch that you can later refine as you wish. Feel free to try something new and let yourself be inspired - your individual creativity is in demand! The digital sketch is done with a pencil brush. It is best to think about the positions of the individual elements at this point. It's also generally a good idea to analyze layers, lights, and shadows now so that everything is ready for your color sketch. Also, remember to keep your document tidy to save yourself a lot of work later.

In the next step you choose your color palette based on your mood board to give your sketch color. You can let off steam as you please. When your project is done colored, it's time to add shadows and highlights. To do this, work with clipping masks to create simple overlays in the layers. Finally, you give your final project your individual signature by finding style elements that speak their own language and express your personality. Now your artwork is finished and ready to be shared with the world. If you want more feedback, you can of course share your composition with the world via your social media channels. Upload your pictures to Instagram using the hashtag #CarinaLindmeierDomestika. I wish you a lot of fun!”
