Illustration with Markers: Find Your Style

“We have reached the end of our course. I want to thank you for choosing this course and getting here! I hope it has helped you develop your personal style and your skill with markers. Before saying goodbye, I will share the step by step of how to make and present your final project: Think about the character you want to draw. Explore the idea a lot in loose sketches and try working some thumbnails to explore the composition.

Clean up your drawing to a larger sheet suitable for working with markers. Use references to further elaborate your drawing.
Make the foreground volumes and textures using the markers.
Use special effects and textures to think of a background.
Finally, do the final artwork and touch-ups. If you want, also do the digital treatment of your work.
Use my project as a reference, but remember that it's important to develop your own style and work with a theme that resonates with you. Finally, publish your final project! I would love to see your illustration and how you used the markers to bring it to life. I will comment on your work whenever possible. One more tip: at Domestika, the community is also a really cool way to complement and extend the course, with everyone interacting, sharing their ideas, tasks, drawings and comments! Until later!”
