“Now comes your time. Share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your illustration and the steps that have led you to it. Next, we are going to review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you showed me a picture of each phase and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Idea and preparation The first step is to spend a little time thinking about the scene you want to represent. In my case I have carried out an illustration of the Navadijos project that I explained to you in Unit 3. When you have your idea and have collected information and reference images, select them and place them on the canvas to create the base composition of your illustration. Desaturate these images and adjust the brightness so that you can draw on them more easily.

Sketch On a layer above the image composition, start sketching with the HB brush from the Sketch Brushes Library and playing with the opacities of the reference images. First color application The next step will be to apply a first color stain to define the general tone of the work. Lights and shadows After this first color tone, tone the light and shadow areas by adding more color intensity, especially in the darkest areas. Review of drawing Once the color is finished, it is time to polish our line and continue adding intensity in those darker areas, but this time with the HB and 6B pencil brushes. Final settings In this last step, adjust the general color using the "Hue", "Saturation" and "Brightness" and "Color Balance" tools, to finish adding a texture and thus get more warmth to the entire illustration. This is how my finished illustration looks: I hope you have enjoyed and learned a lot during the course, I am looking forward to seeing how your illustration has turned out and how you have been applying everything I have taught you. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It is sure to be very enriching for everyone! See you on the forum! ”
