Partial transcription of the video
“Modeling The interesting thing about working with Alphas is that we can create our own Alphas to get special textures. We’ll create some in Procreate. I'm going to start with a square file. A 3500 x 3500 px one works for me, for example. What is important is that it has a black background. Now we are going to paint the Alpha in white on a new layer.

A course by Román García Mora
Román García is not only an illustrator but also a biologist, and since 2008, he has been working above all on scientific and informative illustration projects. His drawings have been published in acclaimed magazines including National Geographic and Quo Magazine. He also collaborates with the Real Jardín Botánico in Madrid to produce illustrations for the CSIC's Flora Iberica project.
His work consists of creating images of things that we cannot see because they belong to a past time, the world of imagination, or simply because they are not perceptible to the human eye. To achieve this, he uses digital illustration as the foundation for his work and combines it with traditional techniques, 3D modeling, and illustrative retouching.
