Sci-fi and Fantasy Illustration in Procreate

Creating a Fantasy Illustration with Procreate

“We have reached the end of the course! I want to thank you for getting this far. I hope this course has been of great value to your work. Before I say goodbye, I'll leave here some tips for you to successfully complete your final project: • Among the ideas you have for re-reading a story or character in the public domain, choose the one that you feel most represents your current artistic inclinations, that is, the idea that you most identify with. • Organize your semantic dashboard, or even the list of songs that will inspire you as you work.

Also be sure to participate in the forum. Come chat with other students, exchange ideas and share your work. See you later and good luck! ”

“Final Project Dear students, congratulations for getting this far. I hope you found the course useful for your work. I look forward to seeing your project. I’ll just leave some reminders here. References are great, especially for long projects that take a long time to carry out. They're also good for when we don't feel inspired. My second reminder is not to cling to the original idea. During our creative process, we often find alternatives that help us reach the objectives we want for our illustration. Change whatever is needed so it conveys exactly what you want to your audience.
