“It seems that we have reached the end of the course. First of all, thank you for having done all this with me. I hope you found it stimulating, inspiring and enjoyable. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with everything you've learned. Remember that there is no one way to do things and that the interesting thing is that you find your own. So, do not be afraid to experiment, to make mistakes and to find your own language. Everyone has something to say so do not be afraid to let your own voice and develop your own style. If you are not comfortable working portraits, you can make compositions with still lifes, or maybe animals and landscapes. Let each one do what they like and interest him most. I hope you put into practice everything learned and that patience and imagination go hand in hand on your way. Share, be equitable and learn. Do you dare to show your creations in the forum?
Thank you for having done this course. ”Partial transcription of the video

José Antonio Roda Martinez
A course by José Antonio Roda Martinez
José Antonio Roda was always drawn to creative and artistic pursuits, but wasn't sure he could make a career out of illustration. He decided to study audiovisual science, but his hobby gradually became a full-time profession, leading him to collaborate with brands like Facebook, Cabify, Refinery29, IKEA and Hyundai.
Roda's work is based almost exclusively on portraiture using simple lines, primary colors, and a friendly tone, expressed in a range of analog and digital mediums, from pens and paint to paper, ceramics, textiles, and wood. As a self-taught creative, he is also passionate about teaching art to others.
