Children’s Digital Illustration: Colors and Textures

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you very much for choosing me as your teacher and adventure partner. It has been a pleasure sharing this space with you. Now you are more than ready to carry out your own final project. I share an example of how I would like to see your final project: The story: Choose the story or text of the scene you want to illustrate.

The mood board: With a general idea and keywords to support, look for references and create a mood board, you can use Pinterest or any other tool that seems useful to you. The scene: Think about your scene, make a pencil sketch and analyze planes, lights and shadows to plan the use of colors and plane settings in your scene. The character: Make the pencil sketch of the character taking into account the personality and the characteristics that you want it to have. Take advantage and draw several sketches in which you can reflect different emotions in your character. The stains: Create your stains with any painting medium so that you can digitize them and turn them into Photoshop brushes and thus enrich your illustration with textures. The color palette: Define your color palette. Keep in mind the mood you want in your illustration. Bring your image to life: Finally, the most exciting, start bringing your image to life taking into account the technical and narrative tools learned. To finish, refine your illustration in detail and take into account the saving aspects depending on the final use of your final project. Done, you already have your finished illustration. Keep in mind that this is not the end, it is the beginning of the road. With what you learned in this course you will be able to create endless illustrations for different projects. Keep experimenting and exploring so you can make new tools that help you give your unique and personal touch to your projects. If you have any questions along the way, you can ask me in the forum, I will be attentive to answer all your questions. Please, do not forget to share your process and your final project, I will be waiting to see it to give you feedback. Remember that it may take me a while to answer you, since I am working on other projects, but I will do it as soon as possible. I invite you to admire and comment on the projects of the rest of your colleagues. Once again, thank you for being here. See you soon on the forum!”
