Digital Illustration Techniques: Find Your Personal Style

“Hi! We have reached the end of the course. For those of you who have come this far, my huge thanks. Before saying goodbye, I would like to share some important tips, not only for the final project, but for your future illustrations: • Do research in magazines and newspapers and select images that you believe might be useful in creating an interesting composition for your final project. • Based on the selected images, produce sketches using the thumbnail process taught in the course, adding new ideas with freehand drawing. • Transfer these sketches to Photoshop and decrease the opacity of the image creating a new layer to finish the illustration. • Create new strokes following the sketch that is at low opacity, modifying some details if necessary.
