Partial transcription of the video
“Colors and textures I will add some textures, also along the t-shirt, the white of the cabin and on the clouds. There, I begin to be quite satisfied with the illustration as it is. I removed the clouds to leave a little more room for the birds and I also deleted some birds so that they breathe a little more in the composition. I could continue to touch up the elements a little bit. I think we're pretty balanced and I like it as it is, so we save. In the next lesson, I will show you how to export Photoshop file.”

A course by Alice Des
After working for four years as an illustrators' agent, Alice Des set herself up as an independent artist. She has worked for Clit Revolution, a web series available on France.tv Slash, and the Manuel d'Activisme Féministe, by the same authors. She collaborates with the press (L'Obs, Les Echos, Milk, Dada, Causette) and brands (Adobe, Petrossian, Nicolas, Cluizel, Arte), as well as with the Slow Galerie in Paris where her work is exhibited and sold.
As a socially involved artist, Alice likes to work for projects that make sense. Her graphic universe oscillates between retro aesthetics and modern subjects, spontaneous drawing and the will to simplify, and digital tools and traditional techniques.
